Aims And Objectives: To analyse crucial factors for determining care priority for patients with acute myocardial infarction based on the Manchester Triage System.
Background: Triage is the first potentially critical step in the care of myocardial infarction patients. However, there are still very few studies on the factors interfering in the lack of care priority for these patients, impacting their treatment and prognosis.

Objective: To verify the correspondence between the priority nursing care for stroke patients treated with thrombolytic therapy and the Nursing Interventions Classification (NIC).
Methods: A cross-mapping study with a semi-structured interview was conducted with 11 expert nurses who described priority nursing care in clinical practice, and mapped it to the NIC.
Results: Eleven nursing care priorities cited by the nurses were mapped to eight NICs, including Thrombolytic Therapy Management (4270).
