[Prehospital thrombolysis in the acute phase of myocardial infarction. Apropos of cases handled by the mobile intensive care unit,Argenteuil (Val-d'Oise) from 1988 to 1991].
We have studied prehospital thrombolytic therapy in acute myocardial infarction administered by the mobile intensive care unit of the Argenteuil hospital (Val d'Oise), between 1988 and 1991, after having detailed the protocol used. Our results confirm the effectiveness of thrombolysis, showing a rapid improvement of pain and ST segment in 50% of cases. There is a significant saving of time between pain and thrombolysis when the treatment is started during the prehospital phase. At present, in accordance with Isis 3 study results, Streptokinase is the drug of choice with rtPA being reserved for cases with contraindications for Streptokinase.
