Key result
Community-administered thrombolytic therapy proves feasible for the emergency management of AMI.
Why the study?
Arterial hypoxaemia frequently occurs during the first 24 hours post-myocardial infarction and the role of early oxygen administration and thrombolytic therapy in emergency management requires clarification.
The text provides a brief overview of emergency management for acute myocardial infarction, noting the role of early oxygen and the potential for community-based thrombolytic therapy.
