Abstract
In addition to rapid clinical evaluation, preferential and right electrocardiographic assessment and also insistent follow up of the complaint of chest pain that constitute a significant percentage of emergency department admission, provides a reduction in mortality and morbidity in the patients admitted to emergency department with chest pain. Unnecessary and time-consuming diagnostic tests should be avoided in this patient population, especially before the electrocardiographic evaluation.
Özet
Acil servise başvuruların önemli bir yüzdesini oluşturan göğüs ağrısında hızlı klinik değerlendirmeye ilave olarak öncelikli ve doğru elektrokardiyografik değerlendirme ile ısrarcı takibin yapılması, mortalite ve morbiditede azalma sağlamaktadır. Bu hastalarda özellikle de elektrokardiyografik değerlendirme öncesinde yapılacak gereksiz ve zaman alıcı tetkiklerden uzak durulmalıdır.
