Emergency Medical Dispatching: Rapid Identification and Treatment of Acute Myocardial Infarction

摘要

The importance of early treatment has been underscored in the last decade with the results from clinical trials of thrombolytic therapy demonstrating mortality reductions with earlier treatment. Emergency medical dispatching has been recognized as a vital part of the early access link in the chain of survival for cardiac arrest. The potential important role for emergency medical dispatchers (EMD's) in the prehospital care of patients with symptoms and signs of an AML, as well as patients with cardiac arrest, is the underlying assumption of this paper.
