AbstractThe aim of this study is to reduce door-to-wire time for ST-elevation myocardial infarction patients undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention through multidisciplinary collaboration. Patients over the age of 18who visited the Foshan Sanshui District People's Hospital between 2018 and 2019 and were diagnosed with STEMI were included in this study. Analyses were performed with patients segregated into a pre-intervention interim period (2018) and a post-intervention period (2019) based on the date of admission. Intervention measures for reducing door to wire time were fully implemented towards the end of the interim period. There were no significant differences in the baseline characteristics of the 2 groups. Median door to puncture time was reduced from 57.5 minutes in the interim period to 46.0 minutes (P < .001) in the post-intervention period. Similarly, median door to wire time was shortened from 88.0 minutes to 63.5 minutes (P < .001). During the interim period, 24% of patients had a door to wire time of <60 minutes, compared to 40.67% of patients in the post-intervention period (P = .002). Multidisciplinary collaboration is an important strategy to reduce door to wire time for patients with STEMI, and may be implemented in suitable centers to improve patient care.Copyright © 2024 the Author(s).
