Of 103 patients with suspected myocardial infarction admitted to an intensive care unit in a general hospital half were admitted within four and a half hours of the onset of symptoms. In general, patients who attended the casualty department were under intensive care sooner than patients who sought attention from their general practitioner before admission. Patients who were seen by a locum from the emergency treatment service at night or weekends were more likely to remain at home until seen the next day by their own general practitioner, compared with patients seen by their own general practitioner initially.
在一家综合医院的重症监护病房收治的103例疑似心肌梗死患者中，有一半在症状发作后的四个半小时内入院。一般来说，前往急诊科的患者比入院前向全科医生寻求诊治的患者更早接受重症监护。与最初由自己的全科医生诊治的患者相比，在夜间或周末由急救服务的临时代理医生诊治的患者更有可能一直在家中，直到第二天由自己的全科医生诊治。
