A principal causa de morte no mundo são as doenças cardiovasculares, constituindo uma preocupação central em saúde.
Objetivo: Descrever o número de ativações da via verde coronária (VVC) num serviço de urgência médico-cirúrgica (SUMC) de uma unidade hospitalar do norte de Portugal.
Metodologia: Estudo quantitativo, descritivo e transversal, respeitante aos doentes admitidos num SUMC, a quem foi ativada VVC, entre dezembro de 2017 e dezembro de 2021.
Resultados: Amostra de 831 indivíduos, maioritariamente do sexo masculino (60,5%), com 45,3% a integrar o grupo dos 61-80 anos e 48% a apresentar a hipertensão arterial como antecedente patológico. Constatou-se que 98,9% das ativações foram efetuadas pelos enfermeiros. Em 2020 (ano da pandemia), verificou-se um considerável decréscimo no número de ativações. Realizou-se eletrocardiograma nos primeiros 10 minutos em 99,2% das ativações. A hora do início de sintomas com maior predomínio ocorreu entre as 6-12 horas. Diagnosticado Enfarte Agudo do Miocárdio a 11,7% da amostra. Conclusão: O número elevado de ativações da VVC, efetuadas essencialmente pelos enfermeiros, enfatiza a importância do seu papel.
Cardiovascular diseases are the primary cause of death worldwide and a significant health concern. Objective: To describe the number of activations of via verde coronária (VVC) in an emergency room (ER) at a hospital in northern Portugal. Methodology: Quantitative, descriptive, and cross-sectional study of patients admitted to an ER and who had VVC activated between December 2017 and December 2021. Results: The study sample consisted of 831 individuals, with a majority being men (60.5%). Among them, 45.3% were aged between 61-80 years and 48% had a history of hypertension. The activations were carried out mostly by nurses (98.9%). A significant decrease in the number of activations was observed in 2020, the year of the pandemic. An electrocardiogram was performed within the first 10 minutes in 99.2% of the activations. The most common time of symptom onset was between 6-12 hours. Acute Myocardial Infarction was diagnosed in 11.7% of the sample. Conclusion: The significant number of VVC activations performed by nurses highlights the impor- tance of their role.
