[Pre hospital indicators in assessing the quality of care for patients with acute coronary syndrome].
OBJECTIVE
to assess quality indicators related to the pre-hospital time for patients with acute coronary syndrome.


METHODS
collection took place at a tertiary hospital in Paraná between 2012 and 2013, through interviews and a medical record review. 94 patients participated, 52.1% male, 78.7% who were over 50 years old, 46.9% studied until the fourth grade, 60.6% were diagnosed with acute myocardial infarction.


RESULTS
the outcomes were the time between the onset of symptoms and the decision to seek help with an average of 1022 min±343.13, door-to-door 805 min±181.78; and reperfusion, 455 min±364.8. The choice to seek out care within 60 min occurred in patients who were having a heart attack, and longer than 60 min in those with a history of heart attack or prior catheterization.


CONCLUSIONS
We concluded that the pre-hospital indicators studied interfered with the quality of care.
