Interrelation between the Theoretical Approach, Statistics and Practice in Emergency Cardiac Pathology

Abstract

Addressing emergency cardiac pathology is an area studied very little by students of the fourth year of study at the University of Medicine during the cardiology module. The aim of this study is to optimize the relationship between theoretical knowledge they obtain from the cardiology course and their application in the emergency room for urgent resolution of pathology. We used statistical methods for processing the database used in this study. We have also used direct interview method with the patient or his entourage, when vital status did not permit examination of the patient, investigation and therapeutic application of pharmacologic and nonpharmacologic measures in an emergency. The results were included in statistically processed data sets, individualized by characteristics of the type pursued. We also appreciated the speed, efficiency and accuracy of medical gestures performed in emergency conditions, in correlation with the theoretical information presented in class. Among the important conclusions we mention: the holding of solid theoretical knowledge offers safety and speed in addressing the practice of cardiac emergencies; for further development of personal research papers based on processed data, besides the theoretical knowledge acquired in courses is useful attending conferences and symposiums approaching the topic to be explored.
