Abstract

FELICES-ABAD, F.  and  GRUPO ARIAM et al. Quality indicators in the acute coronary syndrome for the analysis of the pre- and in-hospital care process. Med. Intensiva [online]. 2010, vol.34, n.6, pp.397-417. ISSN 0210-5691.

We present a map of 27 indicators to measure the care quality given to patients with acute coronary syndrome attended in the pre- and hospital area. This includes technical process indicators (registration of care intervals, performance of electrocardiogram, monitoring and vein access, assessment of prognostic risk, hemorrhage and in-hospital mortality, use of reperfusion techniques and performance of echocardiograph), pharmacological process indicators (platelet receptors inhibition, anticoagulation, thrombolysis, beta-blockers, angiotensin converting inhibitors and lipid lowering drugs) and outcomes indicators (quality scales of the care given and mortality).

Keywords : Quality indicators; Acute coronary syndrome; Critically ill coronary patient.
