Abstract
INTRODUCTION: ST-segment-elevation acute myocardial infarction (STEMI) is a therapeutic emergency. Early reperfusion is the key to successful reperfusion. Guidelines recommend organizing regional networks. In France, this starts with a call to a medical dispatch center, the SAMU-centre 15. The aim of this study was to evaluate regional STEMI management using data collected from 2002 to 2010. METHODS: Observational, prospective, multicenter survey. STEMI patient with chest pain lasting for less than 24hours managed by 40 mobile emergency and resuscitation service (SMUR) and 8 emergency medical system (SAMU) from the Greater Paris Area (Île-de-France) were analyzed. Demographic data, cardiovascular risk factors, infarction location, decision of reperfusion and delays were collected. The rate of coronary reperfusion was chosen as the primary endpoint. RESULTS: Eleven thousand five hundred and eighty-eight patients enrolled from 2002 to 2010 were analyzed. Median age was 59.9 (51.0 to 72.9) years; 9080 (78.5%) were men. The number of patients included decreased from 1376 in 2002 to 1119 in 2010. Reperfusion was achieved by fibrinolysis in 2644 (23%) cases and primary angioplasty in 7999 (69%) cases. The rate of decision of coronary reperfusion significantly increased from 86.7% in 2002 to 94.8% in 2010 (P<0.0001). Interaction between the increasing decision of reperfusion and all factors studied (demographics, cardiovascular risk factors, infarct location and delays) was significant only for family history of coronary artery disease (P=0.03). In-hospital mortality was 2.8% (321 cases). CONCLUSION: The number of patients with STEMI managed by the SAMU declined slightly over the past decade. The rate of decision of reperfusion progressively increased up to 95%. Entrance into the network by the SAMU-centre 15 is a guarantee of a wide and early access to the coronary reperfusion.
