简要总结
Patients with chest pain suspected for non ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndrome (NSTE-ACS) are routinely transferred to the emergency department (ED). A point-of-care (POC) troponin measurement might enable ambulance paramedics to identify low-risk patients in whom ED evaluation is not necessary. The ARTICA trial aims to assess the healthcare cost reduction and safety of a pre-hospital rule-out strategy using a single POC troponin measurement.
详细描述
Patients with chest pain suspected of a NSTE-ACS are screened by ambulance paramedics. The HEAR score (HEART score without the Troponin component) is assessed and patients with a HEAR score of ≤3 are included. The patients are randomised to 1) pre-hospital rule-out with POC troponin measurement (intervention group) and 2) direct transfer to the ED (standard care group). Primary outcome is healthcare costs after 30 days.
