Abstract

Air ambulance system has been established throughoutthe country by the Ministry of Health of Turkey. Fifteenprovinces are determined as centers of the system sothat all the country is covered within at the most one-hourflight distance. As part of this nationwide system, two helicopter ambulances have been deployed in our hospitalsince October 2008. Prompt use of reperfusion therapy improves survival of patients sustaining acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Two components of delay from theonset of AMI to reperfusion therapy are prehospital andinterhospital transportations. We presented the first twocases of AMI whose transfers were made by a helicopterambulance for primary percutaneous coronary intervention. One patient (age 58 years, male) presented to a statehospital 47 km away from Ankara about an hour after theonset of chest pain. Time to reach the patient by a helicopter ambulance was 28 minutes and transfer to our centerwas 14 minutes. The other patient (age 76 years, male)was admitted within 15 minutes of the onset of chest painto a state hospital 58 km away from Ankara. Reaching thepatient by a helicopter ambulance and transferring him toour center took 30 minutes and 16 minutes, respectively.Door-to-balloon times were 16 minutes and 18 minutes,respectively. Infarct-related coronary artery patency wasachieved in both cases.

Özet

Ülkemizde Sağlık Bakanlığı tarafından helikopter havaambulans sistemi kurulmuştur. Ülke genelinde merkezolarak belirlenen 15 ilden, birer saatlik uçuş mesafeleriile tüm Türkiye bu sistemin kapsamına alınmıştır. Busisteme bağlı olarak hastanemizde Kasım 2008’denitibaren iki adet helikopter ambulans konuşlandırılmıştır.Akut miyokart enfarktüsü (AME) geçirmekte olan hastalarda reperfüzyon tedavisinin çabuk kullanımı ile yaşamkurtarılabilmektedir. Hastalığın başlangıcı ile reperfüzyon tedavisi arasındaki gecikmelerin nedenlerindenikisi hastane öncesi ve hastaneler arası nakillerdir. Buyazıda, AME geçiren ve hastanemize helikopter ambulans ile nakledilerek primer perkütanöz koroner girişimyapılan ilk iki olgu sunuldu. Olgulardan biri (58 yaşındaerkek), göğüs ağrısı başladıktan yaklaşık bir saat sonraAnkara’ya 47 km uzaklıktaki bir devlet hastanesinebaşvurmuş, buradan 28 dakika sonra hava ambulansıile alınarak 14 dakikada hastanemize getirilmiştir. Diğerolgu (76 yaşında erkek), göğüs ağrısından yaklaşık 15dakika sonra Ankara’ya 58 km uzaklıktaki bir devlethastanesine başvurmuş, buradan 30 dakika sonra havaambulansı ile alınarak 16 dakikada hastanemize getirilmiştir. Hastanemizdeki kapı-balon süresi ilk olguda 16dakika, ikinci olguda 18 dakika idi. Her iki hastada daenfarktla ilişkili arterde tam açıklık sağlandı.
