Essay / Research Paper Abstract
A 5 page overview of the importance of emergency medical services in diagnosing and addressing heart attacks. Presents the case of a fifty-one year old patient who has admitted to an emergency room complaining of chest pain. Reviews the patient’s vital signs and uses these signs to conclude that an acute myocardial infarction is in progress. Outlines the diagnostic and treatment strategy which will likely be employed. Bibliography lists 5 sources.

Unformatted sample text from the term paper:
services are required in a number of situations ranging from severe injuries to serious allergic reactions to accidental poisonings to seizures to respiratory distress to many complications which fall in
between these primary five (Livingston, 1995). Isenstein (1999) identifies the emergency departments of the hospitals across the nation as the "bulwark of the countrys health care system". Indeed, this
emergency room network provides critical treatment to thousands of patients a day. One of the even more frequent applications of emergency medical services, however, is in cardiac arrests.
In the event of cardiac arrest, perhaps more so than any other event, emergency medical services can mean the difference between life and death. Such is the situation in
the case of a 52 year old female who has admitted to the emergency room with a probable heart attack (myocardial infarction). This patient, like many who admit to
the hospital is in what some physicians refer to as a "golden hour", a window of opportunity for treatment which exists only immediately after an injury or some event like
a heart attack if irreparable harm and indeed loss of life is to be prevented (Isenstein, 1999). The statistics regarding coronary
artery disease make it obvious that emergency medical services are critical in saving the lives of those patients who succumb to the disease. Coronary artery disease is the number
one killer in the United States (Sullivan and Sullivan, 1997). Indeed, an acute myocardial infarction, e.g. a heart attack, most often leads to death. When such an infarction
occurs, however, a patients access to emergency medical services can significantly reduce the incidence of death and of long-term complications from the cardiac attack.
