The application of emergency nursing process in intravenous thrombolytic therapy for patients with acute myocardial infarction was discussed. 100 patients with ST segment elevation myocardial infarction who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria were selected for intravenous thrombolysis. 50 patients with ST segment elevation myocardial infarction were treated from December 2018 to June 2019. The first-aid time and treatment effect of the two groups were compared. The results showed that the first aid time in the optimized process group was less than that in the conventional flow group ( P < 0.05 ); the ECG rate was higher within 10 min than that in the conventional flow group ( P < 0.05 ). It indicates that standardized and meticulous nursing procedures can avoid repetition and omissions and improve work efficiency. The application of the emergency care process in the emergency care of patients with acute myocardial infarction can win more rescue time and then improve the success rate of their rescue.

Background: Thrombolytic therapy is one of the effective treatments for ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction. The most common complication of thrombolytic therapy is hemorrhage. Thromboembolism caused by thrombolytic therapy is exceedingly rare in clinical practice. However, we report a case of cerebral infarction caused by thrombolytic therapy for acute myocardial infarction. Case Report: A 70-year-old man complained of burning sensation under the xiphoid process for 7 years and sudden chest pain for 3 hours. He was diagnosed with acute anterior ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction. Thrombolytic therapy was carried out immediately, but the patient developed cerebral infarction 3 hours after thrombolysis. CONCLUSION: The common complication of thrombolytic therapy is cerebral hemorrhage or gastrointestinal hemorrhage, but the possibility of cerebral infarction should also be taken into account when patients have neurological symptoms.

Venous thromboembolism is associated with significant morbidity and mortality if left untreated. Anticoagulation is the cornerstone of treatment. Venous stents are a relatively newer entity that are increasingly being used to treat venous stenosis/occlusion. It is a safe procedure, but complications include vein rupture, arterial puncture, retroperitoneal bleeding, and in-stent thrombosis. Stent migration is a rare but potentially fatal complication. We present a case of venous stent embolization to the heart that presented as a non-ST segment elevation myocardial infarction.

Background: Stay at home orders and fear of acquiring COVID-19 may have led to an avoidance of care for medical emergencies including acute myocardial infarction (AMI). We sought to examine rates of confirmed AMI cases between January 1-June 30, 2019 and 2020. Methods: We identified Kaiser Permanente Southern California members ≥ 18 years old with a hospitalization or emergency department visit for AMI, defined by ICD-10 primary diagnosis codes. Rates of AMI per 100,000 member-weeks were calculated for pre-pandemic and pandemic periods of January 1-March 3, 2020 and March 20-June 30, 2020, respectively, and in the same periods of 2019 overall and for ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI), separately. March 4-19, 2020 was considered a washout period given the gradual rollout of stay-at-home orders. Rate ratios (RR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) were calculated comparing pre-pandemic and pandemic periods of 2020 to 2019 using Poisson regression. Results: The mean age of patients presenting with AMI during the 2020 (n=3,029) and 2019 (n=3,518) periods was 69 years, and a majority of events occurred among men (62%) and whites (47%). Rates of AMI in the pre-pandemic period of 2020 and same period in 2019 were 4.23 and 4.45 per 100,000 member weeks, respectively. During the pandemic period of 2020 and the same period in 2019, rates were 3.04 and 3.85 per 100,000 member-weeks, respectively. (Figure) There was no evidence rates of AMI were different during the pre-pandemic period of 2020 compared to the same period in 2019 (RR 0.95, 95% CI 0.88, 1.03). In contrast, rates of AMI were lower during the pandemic period of 2020 compared to the same period of 2019 (RR 0.79, 95% CI 0.74, 0.85), and among NSTEMI (RR 0.80, 95% CI 0.74, 0.86) and STEMI (0.74, 95% CI 0.66, 0.84) cases. Conclusion: AMI rates were lower during the COVID-19 pandemic compared to the year prior. Public health messaging is important to ensure people seek care for medical emergencies.
