This study highlights about ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial
Infarction (STEMI) in A Tertiary Care Hospital in New Delhi, India. Time delay
in STEMI works as an indicator for performance assessment and marker of quality
of care. The most effective parameters for good STEMI outcomes are the time
from symptom onset till effective reperfusion (total ischaemic time) and the
door-to-balloon time (D2BT), the latter supposed to represent the in-hospital
performance. There is a minimum time delay in moving of patients from the ER
(Emergency room) to the Cath lab (catheterisation lab) in the tertiary care
hospital within- hospital cardiology team. But we sometimes face time delays
and, in this study, we will look at the causes of the time delays and will try
to find solutions to them over a period of 10 months. Proper education of the
patient and relatives must be done by experts for helping them make immediate,
correct decisions for the betterment of the patient.
