Article Synopsis
- In France, many patients with acute STEMI are admitted to emergency departments that do not have PCI facilities, and only a small percentage meet the recommended DI-DO time of ≤30 minutes for transferring to a PCI center.
- The study analyzed DI-DO times and identified that the median time for transfers was about 92.5 minutes, with key factors such as local transfers and quicker symptom recognition contributing to shorter times.
- To improve outcomes, it’s crucial to focus on enhancing urgent local transfers and utilizing thrombolysis more effectively, as current times exceed the recommended guidelines.
Deliberate drug poisoning leads to 1% of emergency department (ED) admissions. Even if most patients do not exhibit any significant complication, 5% need to be referred to an intensive care unit (ICU). Emergency physicians should distinguish between low- and high-acuity poisoned patients at an early stage to avoid excess morbidity.
