RE: A perspective when an Urgent Care Centre misdiagnosed.

i have a question lola, and it's out of curiosity. What is usually done with patients that are identified having early symptoms of heart attack?

Since heart attack means there is a blockage in one or 2 or 3 arteries...
treatment is to open the artery or unblock the artery to have blood flow thru:

1. anti-coagulants to thin the blood to have better flow
2. thrombolysis as clot-busters (we do this if there is a delay to do angioplasty)
3. angioplasty - this is the aim as early as possible so patients need to be taken to a facility that can do it ie.heart attack centers
4. bypass -if angioplasty cant be done and the patient is symptomatic

Access to these things are the emergency measures. In our HAC, once a patient arrives, the HAC nurse can give those tablets (1) while waiting for the team.
They are the standard meds ie. Aspirin 300mg and Clopidogrel or ticagrelor loading doses then bring the patient to cath lab.

I-popost ko pa ba to kaya?
