Abstract

Giriş: Bu makalenin amacı akıllı telefon kullanılan dönemde çalışma ve çalışma
dışı saatleri (ÇDS)’nde akut ST-elevasyonlu miyokart infarktüsü (STEMİ)’nün
ortalama tanı süresini belirlemektir. Ayrıca uygulama varlığı ve yokluğunda
ÇDS’deki tanı zamanları arasında önemli farklılık olup olmadığına bakılacaktır.

Hastalar ve
Yöntem: Bu retrospektif çalışmaya Ocak 2013-Nisan 2014
tarihlerinde STEMİ tanısı konup primer perkütan koroner girişim (PKG) için
transfer edilen 174 hasta alındı. Bu periyotta, hastanede ÇDS’de akıllı telefon
kullanılmaktaydı. Ayrıca Ocak 2012-Kasım 2012 tarihlerinde ÇDS’de kardiyoloğun
acile çağırılması veya hastane bilgisayarından kardiyoloğa elektronik posta ile
elektrokardiyografi gönderilmesi yoluyla STEMİ tanısı konan 58 hasta alındı.

Bulgular: Uygulamanın kullanılmaya başlanılması sonrası çalışma sırasında hastaların
tanı süresi ortalama 7.9 ± 1.7 dakikaydı. ÇDS’de STEMİ tanısı ortalama 8.2 ±
1.4 dakika olarak saptandı. Çalışma ve ÇDS arasında tanı zamanlarında fark
görülmedi (p= 0.143). Uygulamanın kullanılmaya başlanması öncesi ÇDS’de STEMİ
tanı süresi 18.0 ± 3.1 dakikaydı. ÇDS’de uygulama başlangıcı öncesi ve sonrası
arasında STEMİ tanı süresi açısından anlamlı fark saptandı (p< 0.001).

Sonuç: Akıllı telefon
uygulamalarının özellikle PKG yapılamayan merkezlerde ÇDS’de kullanılması STEMİ
tedavisindeki gecikmeyi azaltarak kısa ve uzun dönem klinik sonuçlarda iyileşme
sağlayabilir.

Impact of Smartphone Technology on the Early Diagnosis of Acute ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction at Non-Primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention Capable Centres in Turkey

Abstract

Introduction:
This
study aimed to determine the mean time for diagnosis of acute ST-segment
elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) for both working hours (WHs) and
non-WHs (NWHs) during the period that a smartphone application was in use to
aid the speed of diagnosis and any significant difference in diagnosis times
during NWHs with and without use of the application.

Patients
and Methods: In this retrospective study, 174 patients who had been
diagnosed with STEMI and transferred for primary percutaneous coronary
intervention between January 2013 and April 2014 were recruited. During this
period, the hospital used a smartphone application to aid diagnosis during
NWHs. In addition, 58 patients who were diagnosed with STEMI during NWHs
between January 2012 and November 2012, either by a cardiologist called to the
emergency department or an electrocardiography being sent to the cardiologist’s
e-mail from a hospital computer, were enrolled.

Results: After the
smartphone application was used, patients were diagnosed in a mean time of 7.9
± 1.7 min during WHs, whereas STEMI was diagnosed in a mean time of 8.2 ± 1.4
min during NWHs. There was no statistically significant difference in diagnosis
times between WHs and NWHs (p= 0.143). However, before the application was
used, the mean time for the diagnosis of STEMI was 18.0 ± 3.1 min during NWHs,
and consequently, there was a significant difference in STEMI diagnosis times
during NWHs before and after the application began to be used (p< 0.001).

Conclusion: The application of
smartphones, especially during NWHs at non-percutaneous coronary
intervention-capable centres, can significantly reduce delays in STEMI
treatment, which can result in improved short- and long-term clinical outcomes.
