Structure of Patients Treated in Intensive Coronary Care Unit on Department for Internal Medicine – PHO General Hospital Kumanovo – in the Period from 2009-2013 Year
Main Article Content
Abstract
BACKGROUND: The main feature of coronary care is the availability of telemetry or the continuous monitoring of the cardiac rhythm by electrocardiography and periodic measurements blood pressure. Intensive Coronary Care Unit (ICCU) in the Department of Internal Medicine - PHO General Hospital Kumanovo starts to work in 1998 year.
AIM: To provide information for patients who were observed (till 24 hours) and hospitalized (more than 24 hours) in Intensive Coronary Care Unit, reasons for observation and hospitalization, treatment, distribution by sex, age and results from observation and hospitalization of the period of five years ( 2009-2013).
MATERIAL AND METHODS: In this retrospective study are used informations from dairy of patients in Intensive Coronary Care Unit, their histories about the diseases.
RESULTS: In total 4677 patients were analyzed in the period from 2009 till 2013 year. In that period 3668 patients were observed, 1009 patients hospitalized, transferred in tertiary health care (PHO University Clinic for Cardiology and others clinics in Skopje) 278 patients and 277 death.
CONCLUSIONS: In most cases are represented patients with atrial fibrillation (16% - 26%), coronary arterial disease, unstable and stabile angina pectoris (15% - 20%), malignant values of blood pressure (11% - 17%) and patient with pulmonary edema (6% - 16%). Every year numbers of patients treated in intensive coronary care unit is grows also patients who need treatment in tertiary health care.Downloads
