[Measures in the prehospital phase of acute myocardial infarct]. 1984

J Slany

The prehospital period of acute myocardial infarction is burdened by high mortality essentially caused by electrical instability. Delay in hospitalization is composed by decision time of the patient, arrival and decision time of the physician, transport, and admission period in the hospital. Marked shortening of these periods is urgent for control of ventricular fibrillation by DC-shock and is a prerequisite for early thrombolysis which possibly could reduce mortality further. Organizational and educational measures for that purpose are pointed out. Medical care during the prehospital period is discussed.

D003131	Combined Modality Therapy	The treatment of a disease or condition by several different means simultaneously or sequentially. Chemoimmunotherapy, RADIOIMMUNOTHERAPY, chemoradiotherapy, cryochemotherapy, and SALVAGE THERAPY are seen most frequently, but their combinations with each other and surgery are also used.

D004562	Electrocardiography	Recording of the moment-to-moment electromotive forces of the HEART as projected onto various sites on the body's surface, delineated as a scalar function of time. The recording is monitored by a tracing on slow moving chart paper or by observing it on a cardioscope, which is a CATHODE RAY TUBE DISPLAY.	12-Lead ECG,12-Lead EKG,12-Lead Electrocardiography,Cardiography,ECG,EKG,Electrocardiogram,Electrocardiograph,12 Lead ECG,12 Lead EKG,12 Lead Electrocardiography,12-Lead ECGs,12-Lead EKGs,12-Lead Electrocardiographies,Cardiographies,ECG, 12-Lead,EKG, 12-Lead,Electrocardiograms,Electrocardiographies, 12-Lead,Electrocardiographs,Electrocardiography, 12-Lead
