    Area of Science:

    • Cardiology
    • Emergency Medicine
    • Nursing Practice

    Background:

    • Myocardial infarction (MI) leads to cardiac muscle damage.
    • The extent of damage is inversely related to the speed of reperfusion therapy.
    • Intravenous thrombolytic therapy is a key reperfusion strategy.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To examine the role of nurses in facilitating early intravenous thrombolytic therapy.
    • To highlight how nursing interventions can expedite treatment for myocardial infarction patients.

    Main Methods:

    • Literature review on nursing roles in acute cardiac care.
    • Analysis of protocols for thrombolytic administration.
    • Case study examples (if applicable - not specified in abstract).

    Main Results:

    • Nurses are pivotal in recognizing symptoms and initiating treatment pathways.
    • Properly trained nurses can administer thrombolytics, reducing delays.
    • Streamlined nursing protocols improve treatment timeliness.

    Conclusions:

    • Enhanced nursing training is essential for rapid myocardial infarction management.
    • Nurses are key facilitators of early intravenous thrombolytic therapy.
    • Empowering nurses improves patient outcomes by minimizing cardiac damage.
