Optimizing the Effects of a Comprehensive Emergency Nursing Model on Rescued Patients with Acute Myocardial Infarction in the Cardiology Department.

ABSTRACT

Background: Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) requires timely and efficient intervention to mitigate adverse events and enhance patient prognosis. However, variations in emergency nursing protocols may impact treatment outcomes. Therefore, assessing the effectiveness of a comprehensive emergency nursing model, encompassing advanced assessment techniques and tailored interventions, is important for refining care strategies. Objective: This study aimed to assess the optimization effect of a comprehensive emergency nursing model on rescued patients diagnosed with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) within the cardiology department. Methods: This retrospective study analyzed data from 80 cases of AMI patients admitted to our hospital between January and June 2023. The study was conducted within our hospital's cardiology department. The participants were divided into two groups an intervention group (n=40) and a control group (n=40). The intervention group received care under the comprehensive, optimized emergency nursing model, while the control group received standard emergency care. Evaluation parameters comprised rescue time, effectiveness of emergency treatment, and nursing satisfaction. Results: No significant differences in baseline patient characteristics were observed between the two groups. However, the intervention group demonstrated notable reductions in triage assessment time, completion of electrocardiograms, venous blood sampling, administration of intravenous medication, and overall emergency duration compared to the control group (P < .001). Additionally, the clinical complication rate in the intervention group, particularly incidences of heart failure and myocardial infarction recurrence, was significantly lower than that in the control group (P < .05). Patients in the intervention group reported significantly higher nursing satisfaction scores compared to their counterparts in the control group (P < .001). Conclusion: The comprehensive emergency nursing model substantially decreased rescue time for AMI patients, minimized complication rates, and enhanced patient satisfaction with nursing care. This model presents an efficacious strategy for optimizing the rescue process of acute myocardial infarction patients within the cardiology department.
