ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT The door-to-needle time is an important goal to reduce the time to treatment in intravenous thrombolysis. Objective Analyze if the inclusion of an exclusive thrombolytic bed reduces the door-to-needle time. Method One hundred and fifty patients admitted for neurological evaluation with ischemic stroke were separated in two groups: in the first, patients were admitted in the Emergency Room for intravenous thrombolysis (ER Group); in the second, patients were admitted in an exclusive thrombolytic bed in the general neurology ward (TB Group). Results Sixty-eight (86.0%) patients from TB Group were treated in the first 60 minutes of arrival as compared to 48 (67.6%) in the ER Group (p = 0.011). Conclusion The introduction of a thrombolytic bed in a general hospital setting can markedly reduce the door-to-needle time, allowing more than 85% of patients to be treated within the first hour of admission.


RESUMO A redução no tempo porta-agulha é um objetivo importante para diminuir o tempo de tratamento na trombólise endovenosa. Objetivo Analisar se a inclusão de um leito exclusivo de trombólise reduz o tempo porta-agulha. Método Cento e cinqüenta pacientes admitidos com acidente vascular cerebral isquêmico foram separados em dois grupos: no primeiro, os pacientes foram admitidos no Pronto-Atendimento para trombólise endovenosa (Grupo PA); no segundo, os pacientes foram admitidos no leito de trombólise na enfermaria de neurologia (Grupo LT). Resultados Sessenta e oito (86,0%) pacientes do Grupo LT foram tratados nos primeiros 60 minutos após a chegada, em comparação com 48 (67,6%) no Grupo PA (p = 0,011). Conclusão A introdução de um leito de trombólise em ambiente hospitalar pode reduzir marcadamente o tempo porta-agulha, permitindo que mais de 85% dos pacientes sejam tratados na primeira hora de admissão.
