| Aims. Increasing of acute myocardial infarction is a main cause of importance of emergency management for these patients. Streptokinase is a standard drug suggested by several international associations. This study was to evaluate the time period between entrance of severe heart stroke patient to hospital and streptokinase injection by nurses. Methods. This is a cross-sectional study performed on 150 consecutive patients admitted in CCU with acute myocardial infarction diagnosis. A researcher-made questionnaire used gathering data. Its validity accepted by agreement of 10 professors and its reliability accepted by test-retest method in 15 cases and spearman test (r=0.85). Data analyzed by parametric and non-parametric tests. Results. 12 patient (8%) expired in first day and 18 (12%) suffered from pulmonary edema. Mean of injection fraction was 46.15 ± 8.81 and mean of door to needle time was 190.33 ± 420.35 minutes. Relation between "confined day/door to needle time" variables (p<; 0/01 Sig=0.001) and "injection fraction/door to needle time" variables (p<; 0/05, Sig=0.007) was significant by Pearson test. Conclusion. Mean of door to needle time was 2 hours and 40 minutes more than standard time (30 minute). Nursing managers must pay more attention to this difference. |
