Continuous ST-segment monitoring is highlighted as an effective, noninvasive tool for critical care nurses to monitor coronary patency in acute myocardial infarction patients.
May support nurse-led AMI monitoring; leaves open prospective trials before adoption.
Continuous ST-segment analysis is an accurate and noninvasive tool for monitoring coronary artery patency in patients with acute myocardial infarction. This type of monitoring also is easy to use and cost-effective. The critical care nurse plays a pivotal role in initiating ST-segment monitoring, promptly detecting ST-segment changes, and rapidly intervening to achieve myocardial reperfusion.
