Abstract

Fibrinolytic therapy concomitant with aspirin in acute myocardial infarction (AMI) has been shown to reduce mortality in a rate of 42%. The aim of this study is to evaluate what percentage of patients treated with fibrinolytic treatment and to determine the reasons why this therapy was not given. The records of 190 patients (158 male and 38 female) have been evaluated retrospectively. Twenty patients (10.5%) did not receive fibrinolytic therapy because of Non-Q AMI. Ninety-seven patients (57.0%) received fibrinolytic therapy. it was administered to 83 (48.8%) of those only patients in the first 6 hours of AMI. Fibrinolytic treatment was not given to 73 patients. The reasons of that; late arrival in 28 (38.3%), inadequate transportation in 16 patients (21.9%), and inappropriate diagnosis in 18 (24.6%) patients. Late arrival was due to older age, female sex and previous MI history. in conclusion, fibrinolytic treatment was administered in about half of the patients with AMI. To increase the fibrinolytic treatment rate in patients with AMI, every worker at every steps must be alert such as patients, medical doctor who consult the patient first and in ambulance, at emergency room.

Özet

Akut miyokart infarktüsünde fibrinolitik tedavi aspirinle beraber verildiğinde mortaliteyi %42 oranında azaltmaktadır. Bu çalışmanın amacı akut miyokart İnfarktüslü hastalarda fibrinolitik tedavi verilme oranı ile fibrinolitik verilmeme nedenlerinin değerlendirilmesidir. Hastanemize son bir yıl içinde akut miyokart infarktüsü (AMİ) nedeni ile başvuran 190 (K-38, E-152) hastanın verileri geriye dönük olarak değerlendirildi. Bu hastalardan 20'sinin (%10.5) akut non Q Mİ nedeniyle fibrinolitik tedaviye aday olmadığı saptandı. Geriye kalan 170 hastanın ise ancak 97'sinin (%57.0) fibrinolitik tedavi aldığı tespit edildi. Fibrinolitik tedavinin ilk 6 saatte uygulandığı hasta sayısı ise 83(%48.8) olarak saptandı. Hastanemizdeki fibrinolitik tedavi almayan 73 hastanın gecikmesindeki nedenler incelendiğinde en sık olarak 28'inin (%38.3) hastaneye geç başvurduğu, 16'sının (%21.9) buna ek olarak ulaşım nedeniyle geciktiği ve 18'ine (%24.6) ise tanı konulamadığından fibrinolitik tedavi verilemediği saptandı. Fibrinolitik tedavi almayan grupta ileri yaş, kadın cinsiyet ve önceden AMİ geçirme hikayesi daha yüksek oranda tespit edildi (p<0.05). Sonuç olarak, hastanemize başvuran hastaların yaklaşık olarak yarısına fibrinolitik tedavi verildiği ve bu oranın artması için hasta ve sağlık personelinin daha dikkatli davranmaları gerektiği düşünüldü.
