Communication via smartphone rationalizes hospital transmissions for heart patients

By Parul Gupta

Smartphone communications in medical terms at distinct hospitals can drastically diminish the time it requires for heart attack patients to procure life-saving treatment after a transfer of hospital. According to the new study, it is possible to track the length of time patients with a ST-elevated myocardial infraction, also known as STEMI, which is the most severe sort of heart attack, suffered a decrease in blood supply called as ischemia. 
 
“The activation of SNS is an affordable and simple method ideal for broad implementation and utilization among health care suppliers to diminish the total ischemic period for transferred STEMI pateints,” says Jin Joo Park, an assistant lecturer of internal medicine at Seoul National University Bundang Hospital, South Korea, and one of the researchers of senior experts. “According to my view, SNS activation can possibly save people without utilizing novel resources in the health care channels.”
 
Angioplasty, also called as Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) is the most likeable and most popular form of treatment for opening clogged arteries and restoring the flow of blood, called as reperfusion, in patients suffering from STEMI. But, not all hospitals are planned to function this procedure and one can only perform it during the weekdays. Traditional research has revealed that the patients need a hospital transfer before procuring PCI that has troubling outcomes and lengthier total ischemic time.
 
In an attempt to diminish the time, patients are required to wait to obtain this life-saving treatment, scientists linked to health care suppliers at numerous non-PCI equip hospitals with providers from the Seoul National University Bundang Hospital, that possesses around the clock PCI efficacies through a smartphone application termed as BAND. It is a famous social networking app in South Korea that augments communication among people.
 
“Transmitted STEMI patients rarely accomplish timely reperfusion because of delays in the transmission process, specifically when transmitted during off-hours,” says Park, confirming that there is powerful evidence that STEMI patients reaching to a hospital off-hours encounter a greater risk of death, a trend witnessed worldwide.” The usage of a smartphone SNS can support to achieve timely reperfusion for transmitted STEMI patients with seamless, rapid communication among the health care suppliers.”
 
The time expended in transit between the two different hospitals was alike in both groups. The time expended at the very first hospital before getting transferred was numerically smaller in the SNS-activated group, but such difference was not mathematically significant.
Ischemia denies oxygen tissues, resulting in damage to the heart. If the flow of blood is not accumulated quickly enough, STEMI can result in death or the complete loss of heart tissue, leading to long-term health effects and ultimately augmenting the risk of experiencing another heart attack.
 
The study is constrained in that it is not a sample controlled trial and does not analyzes whether the utilization of SNS to streamline the process of transfer actually saving the lives of patients or enhancing their quality of lives. Park and his team members are presently planning a random clinical trial to offer a much intense evaluation of the possible impact of the use of SNS based on such outcomes.
