Rapid Diagnostic Protocols for Acute Coronary Syndromes in Emergency Departments

Abstract

Acute Coronary Syndromes (ACS) is a set of conditions considered to be life threatening and need to be detected and treated instantly particularly in emergency departments (ED).  The study will quantify the usefulness of rapid diagnostic protocols (RDP) in identifying ACS patients and enhancing the early treatment options in the emergency department (ED).  The research paper examines various diagnostic methods that include biomarker testing, electrocardiogram (ECG) testing and advanced imaging methods in terms of their time efficiency and diagnostic accuracy.  The most notable results show that the utilization of integrated RDP will shorten the time frame spent to get a diagnosis, simplify the procedure of discovering ACS, and give a chance to establish such treatment as antiplatelet therapy, thrombolysis, or percutaneous cardiac intervention (PCI) in time.  The given paper is devoted to the significance of the multidisciplinary approach to the emergency care environment with the view to reducing delays and enhancing patient outcomes.  The results show that RDP must be constantly improved and exercised to help physicians to make more adequate decisions regarding high-risk ACS patients.
