Abstract

Objective: to determine the most important information that should be provided when transferring a patient with Acute Myocardial Infarction from the out-of-hospital emergency department nurse to the CCCU (Critical Coronary Care Unit) nurse.
Material and method: descriptive study, using the Delphi technique. 10 nurses from the emergency department and 14 nurses from the ICU were selected as experts. A 4-part questionnaire was used: initial assessment, collaboration problems, autonomy problems and nursing diagnoses. Based on the first questionnaire the following two were created with items that were higher than the median of the medians of the scores that the experts granted to each of the items. The questionnaires were administered to the two groups at the same time.
Results: hemodynamic evolution, the characteristics and evolution of pain, applied medication and electrocardiographic changes are the most important aspects of nursing collaboration in the transfer of these patients. An­xiety and fear are the most expected human responses in these patients.
Conclusions: the transmission of information during the transfer of these patients should be focused on these aspects. In order to record these data the registry of nursing care that is currently used in the emergency department should be modified.
