"Surgery this quickly! Even if going through the chest pain center's green channel, it wouldn't be this fast, right?"
A nurse exclaimed in surprise.
Larger hospitals all have chest pain centers, generally comprising a collaborative rescue system established by multiple disciplines such as the Emergency Department, Cardiology, Imaging, Cardiothoracic Surgery, Thoracic Surgery, Digestive Department, and Respiratory Medicine, providing rapid and accurate diagnosis for patients with acute chest pain.
Patients with chest pain do not need to queue for consultation and examinations.
The initial intent of establishing a chest pain center is because chest pain could potentially be due to acute myocardial infarction, heart disease, aortic dissection, and so on.
These conditions are considered urgent and critical.
Every minute of delay increases the patient's risk of death significantly.
