CHARACTERISTICS OF NEED FOR CARDIAC EMERGENCY

Abstract

The article provides information on the research conducted to assess the urban population's need for emergency cardiac aid. The age composition of patients, which used emergency cardiac aid during a calendar year, was determined by the method of massive coverage. The volume of need for an emergency cardiac team of ambulance station was assessed according to the number of applications per 1000 persons from different age groups. The total quantity of applications for emergency cardiac aid teams is 1865 (5,1 average during a day, 6,71±0,15per 1000 persons older than 20 years). The comparatively high rate was observed in the age group 50-59 years (16,51%), 60-64 (14,58%), 50-54 (12,86%), 65-69 (12,65%), 80 years and older (10,56%). The average age, mode, and median age (61,24; 60 years) are nearly similar. The volume of need for emergency cardiac aid of adults changed within the interval 20-24 years old, 65,33±4,51‰ on age 80 years and older. In conclusion, the need of the population older than 20 years old for cardiac emergency aid is 6,71±0,15 during a calendar year. With increasing of age volume of the need of population for cardiac aid also increases. The increasing tendency is linear, which is explained by well-approximated regression equation.
