| Popis: | Objective This study aimed at evaluating operator and procedural variables affecting needle to balloon time in primary percutaneous coronary intervention. Background The relationship between operator's variables with needle to balloon time is unknown. Methods A total of 399 consecutive patients from 06/2010 to 03/2012 presenting with ST-elevation myocardial infarction in a community medical center were included in the study. Operator experience was calculated in number of years in interventional practice and operator procedure volume in number of percutaneous coronary intervention procedures performed annually. The time of arrival was divided into regular hours (7 am to 4 pm) and off hours (4 pm to 7 am) on weekdays and the entire duration on weekends and holidays. Results The average patient age was 65 years and 59% were males. The mean needle to balloon time was 18.53 ± 8 min. There was no difference in needle to balloon time between patients presenting during regular hours compared to those presenting during off hours (18.19 ± 6.88 vs. 18.93 ± 9.13, P > 0.5). Operator experience (coefficient = −0.10, P = 0.03) and procedure volume (coefficient = −0.63, P |
