ABSTRACT
The history of intensive care in Colombia is strongly linked to the decline in MI mortality in our country. Before the onset of intensive care, MI mortality was around 30-35%, when care was limited to relieving pain, avoiding or treating some complications such as peripheral or pulmonary thromboembolism, treating heart failure and prescribing prolonged bed rest for the patient, which sometimes extended up one month.
