Discovery to Treatment

Reducing door-to-balloon time by clearing a path from Discovery to Treatment

Philips can simplify cardiac care for STEMI patients with innovative, time-saving offerings that span from "discovery," which starts with the paramedic in the field, and continues through PCI in the cardiac cath lab. The recommended "door-to-balloon" protocol is 90 minutes or less, but may hospitals fall short.  Philips solutions can capture and integrate STEMI patients' diagnostic data, while supporting teamwork - a key strategy that may help healthcare providers prevent information delays and shorten door-to-balloon times, because time is muscle.
