Rain Show cardiologists European system functioning Galician care network myocardial infarction Unit Cardiology interventionist millet perform two procedures anxioplastia primary in patients with acute myocardial infarction
Program Galego Care acute myocardial infarction (Progaliam) is a pioneering program in Portugal that improves care for this disease since it shortens considerable time assisting the patient with stroke or suspected stroke, both locally and for the transport to the hospital
It is to coordinate all resources to transport patients as quickly as possible the services of hemodynamics of the hospitals where they were held anxioplastias primary during the 24 hours a day 365 days a year
Index survival of patients with myocardial infarction for which he applied this protocol, which were Vigo in 2000 - is 95 percent
Vigo, May 9, 2010. During the 10th and 11th of May, the Cardiology Unit interventionist Hospital millet Complex Hospital Universitario de Vigo will meet in an international seminar, among cardiologists from all over Europe, regarded as leaders of medical opinion in their countries-in Seminar European Treatment of Patients with Acute Myocardial Infarction with anxioplastia primary, with radial access, and a model of care network (Prograliam Program).
The aim of this scientific meeting is to discuss the clinical strategies and organizational measures to deal with as effectively and quickly as possible, myocardial infarction, and thus prevent most deaths occurring from this disease.
this course, experts will show participants how the system works Galician care network in the acute myocardial infarction with primary anxioplastia (Prograliam) and guide them on how they could establish a coordination mechanism similar care in their respective areas.
The seminar program provides several scientific sessions with a blended formula of lectures and case studies submitted in the seminar room of the hospital from the halls of hemodynamics by audiovisual systems. How come every day emergencies Units interventional cardiology, it is anticipated that during the development of this seminar the participants can see how it serves a primary anxioplastia infarction.
Prograliam, acortar service time
Currently, acute coronary syndrome and a major cause of death, in addition, a third of people with an acute myocardial infarction die within the first hour of symptom onset. For every minute that attention takes, the chances of recovery diminish between seven and 10 per cent.
Today we have demonstrated that proper treatment, applied early, decreases the morbidity of acute coronary syndrome and improves patient outcomes. Therefore, improvements in care, should be addressed to ensure proper treatment in each case, and especially in reducing the maximum time between the first clinical symptoms and the correct diagnosis and treatment.
In order to improve service to myocardial infarction, the Service Galego Health develops Progaliam that allows Galicia has a model of care network to shorten service time since the patient is suffering a crisis until the arrival at hospital.
This is a pioneering program in Portugal that enhances service Myocardial infarction through integration and increased coordination between the extra hospital care and hospital by 061 to coordinate all aid resources in Galicia-Primary, hospitals, 061, and referral centers in interventional cardiology, to get the time since a heart attack occurs until it acts on the patient's heart is as short as possible. According
explains the seminar organizer and head of the Cardiology Service of Rain, André Iñiguez "The Galician Care infarction (Prograliam) based on a model of care network covering the whole community of Galicia, and in which patients presenting an acute myocardial infarction can be seen and treated your problem in less than 110 minutes for 24 hours 365 days a year. This network is divided into three zones, north, center and south, and Vigo is the node of the network service area south of Galicia. Nestos nearly six years of operation atendéronse Vigo 2,000 patients with acute myocardial infarction, with a success rate of treatment of more than 95 percent. "
Anxioplastias 24 hours a day
When the first symptoms of heart failure or suspected chest pain of possible coronary origin, after a direct call to 061, put into operation this protocol automatically. Immediately, a UVI cell can make a direct change in the shortest possible time and under safe conditions, the units of hemodynamics of referral hospitals for these procedures, the Complex of St. Paul, Clinical Santiago or millet in Vigo, where it holds to be anxioplastias Primary 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
Currently, this program will cover all the Galician, so that any patient suffering a heart attack in the autonomous community of Galicia can benefit from the most effective treatment available to treat his illness and in the shortest time possible. Thus, it has to the fullest extent of the community the most advanced treatment for the pathology ischemic heart, placing it at the highest international level in terms of coverage and care.
In general, through the development of Prograliam, currently based on that 95 percent of patients with myocardial infarction for which he applied this protocol survived.
Currently, the program has become a reference in the organization of care for myocardial infarction and an example of coordination between different levels of care. This veleulle Team Award to the best research work in primary anxioplastia.
Anxioplastia transradial
Besides explaining the coordination of aid resources in Galicia to respond more quickly and effective for patients with myocardial Prograliam through, another key objective of the seminar is to promote primary transradial-anxioplastia with access from the arm in the treatment of acute myocardial infarction.
This process is the most immediate possible action through a catheter which is close to the heart of the patient's arm, through the radial artery, to eliminate the obstruction of the coronary arteries and prevent the death of heart tissue from lack of blood supply.
Experience in Interventional Cardiology Unit, Hospital of millet and demonstrates that catheterization anxioplastias via the transradial approach, ie through not from the arm and leg, as if they had been doing traditionally offers important advantages assistance, as the immediate ambulation, improved patient comfort, reduction of vascular complications, the possibility of rapid compression of the wound, and the reduction of complications hemorráxicas , which also has the effect of reducing hospital stays.
this meeting will participate, along with Andrew Iñiguez, the Area Director of the Heart Hospital Complex University of Corunna, Alfonso Castro Beiras, and Petr Widminsky cardiologist, who was among the first experts who settled in the Czech capital the model of care in myocardial infarction network.
The relationship of speakers also includes Antonio Serra, head of Cardiology Department of Hospital and director of the Sea of \u200b\u200bInterventional Cardiology Medical Center Teknon Barcelona, \u200b\u200band Lina Badimon, director of the Research Center of the Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas (CSIC ).
