Disease relevance of Coronary Care Units

 

High impact information on Coronary Care Units

  • Despite the fact that all our assumptions were slanted to favor the current standard policy of admission to a coronary-care unit, our analysis shows that admission to an intermediate-care unit providing resuscitative facilities and prophylactic lidocaine is highly cost effective [6].
  • Studies of the health effects of several major interventions in relation to their costs--Pap smears, mammography, coronary care units, bypass surgery, and cholesterol reduction--indicate the kinds of choices to be made [7].
  • The interval between the initial electrocardiogram and initiation of treatment with TPA was less when the drug was first administered in the emergency department (46.8 +/- 23.4 minutes) rather than after transfer to the coronary care unit (82.1 +/- 34.7 minutes) [8].
  • Bedside measurement of creatine kinase to guide thrombolysis on the coronary care unit [9].
  • Eighty-eight patients admitted to a coronary care unit with chest pain of varying etiology but without ECG evidence of an acute transmural myocardial infarction had myocardial scintigrams using technetium-99m stannour pyrophosphate (99m-Tc-PYP) [10].
