Do emergency medical service delays increase time to reperfusion and 30-day mortality in patients with STEMI?
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
EMS delays in STEMI patients are associated with delayed reperfusion and increased 30-day mortality, highlighting the critical need for rapid transport and system optimization.
Increasing EMS delay times, particularly those result from haemodynamic complications, increase total time to reperfusion and are associated with 30-day mortality after STEMI. All efforts should be made to monitor and reduce EMS delay times for timely reperfusion and better outcome.
