Impact of a new triage tool for screening acute myocardial infarction patients on the door-to-electrocardiogram time in an emergency department
Year: 2007
Type: article
Abstract: The comparison between groups found a significant decrease in the door-to-ECG time in the post-implementation period ( P = 0.00002) (Table 1 ). The implementation of this new triage tool had a significant impact on reducing the door-to-ECG time and it may become a useful tool for identifying atypical AMI patients.
