 Se necesita un espectro completo de cuidados cardiacos<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Lo que empez\u00f3 como un d\u00eda normal en septiembre r\u00e1pidamente dio un giro a peor cuando Joe Alves no se sinti\u00f3 bien despu\u00e9s de hacer ejercicio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Condujo hasta su casa y llam\u00f3 a su novia, Gail, quej\u00e1ndose de dolor en el pecho, el cuello y la mand\u00edbula. Gail sab\u00eda que Joe no era de los que se quejan, as\u00ed que llam\u00f3 inmediatamente al 911 y corri\u00f3 a su casa. Gracias a la rapidez mental de Gail, la ambulancia lleg\u00f3 a casa de Joe instantes despu\u00e9s que ella. Los param\u00e9dicos lograron estabilizar a Joe, aunque su presi\u00f3n sangu\u00ednea hab\u00eda bajado y su tez estaba descolorida. Los param\u00e9dicos decidieron llevar a Joe a Monumento a Charlton<\/a>Todo lo que Joe recuerda es despertarse en la cama del hospital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Equipo de cuidados cr\u00edticos card\u00edacos al rescate<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Al llegar al Charlton Memorial, Gail recuerda que todo sucedi\u00f3 r\u00e1pidamente, ya que el personal se apresur\u00f3 a ayudar. Joe segu\u00eda con la tensi\u00f3n baja y dolor en el pecho; un primer electrocardiograma indic\u00f3 un infarto agudo de miocardio. El personal del servicio de urgencias se puso r\u00e1pidamente en contacto con el laboratorio de cateterismo cardiaco para tratar a Joe de un infarto y avis\u00f3 a la ambulancia. Equipo de cuidados cr\u00edticos card\u00edacos<\/a> para una evaluaci\u00f3n de emergencia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A los 67 a\u00f1os, Joe hab\u00eda trabajado como constructor de barcos durante m\u00e1s de 40 a\u00f1os. Era activo y le gustaba ir al gimnasio despu\u00e9s del trabajo. Aunque estaba relativamente sano, ten\u00eda un aneurisma a\u00f3rtico inactivo que se estaba controlando y que m\u00e1s tarde desempe\u00f1ar\u00eda un papel fundamental en su tratamiento.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr. Peter Cohn, m\u00e9dico jefe del Centro de Cuidados Cardiovasculares<\/a>estaba de guardia para el equipo de cuidados cr\u00edticos card\u00edacos ese d\u00eda. Antes de atender a Joe, revis\u00f3 su historial m\u00e9dico y tom\u00f3 nota del aneurisma. Aunque los dolores tor\u00e1cicos de Joe eran indicativos de un infarto de miocardio, el Dr. Cohn observ\u00f3 que ten\u00eda un soplo prominente y una presi\u00f3n arterial desigual en cada brazo. Antes de seguir con el tratamiento, envi\u00f3 a Joe a hacerse un angiograma por tomograf\u00eda computarizada (una prueba con colorante que busca desgarros en la aorta). Por su experiencia, el Dr. Cohn sab\u00eda que si hab\u00eda ocurrido algo con el aneurisma a\u00f3rtico, el tiempo era esencial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

En cinco minutos, los resultados del TAC mostraron que Joe sufr\u00eda una disecci\u00f3n a\u00f3rtica, no un infarto.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Con este tipo de diagn\u00f3stico, si no se act\u00faa de inmediato, la tasa de mortalidad es muy alta\", afirma el Dr. Cohn. \"Si no lo solucionas de inmediato, el paciente morir\u00e1\".<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Una respuesta r\u00e1pida salva la vida de Joe<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

La r\u00e1pida respuesta al estado de Joe fue posible gracias al Departamento de Urgencias cardiacas especializadas y al cirujano cardiaco del Charlton Memorial. Al no tener que trasladarlo a Boston, se ahorr\u00f3 un tiempo valioso y se evitaron complicaciones adicionales en una enfermedad que ya pon\u00eda en peligro la vida del paciente.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

El cirujano cardiotor\u00e1cico de guardia era Dr. Peter Lee<\/a>. Lleg\u00f3 unos minutos despu\u00e9s de recibir los resultados del TAC. Habl\u00f3 con Gail y le explic\u00f3 que el tiempo era oro con este diagn\u00f3stico. Aproximadamente a las 6 de la tarde (menos de dos horas despu\u00e9s de su llegada al hospital), Joe ingres\u00f3 en el quir\u00f3fano para salvarle la vida.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Casi 10 horas despu\u00e9s, el Dr. Lee y su equipo quir\u00fargico pudieron reparar la disecci\u00f3n a\u00f3rtica de Joe y estabilizarlo. Despu\u00e9s pas\u00f3 unos d\u00edas en la Unidad de Cuidados Intensivos Cardiovasculares y fue dado de alta el d\u00eda de su 68 cumplea\u00f1os.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cirug\u00eda cardiaca inmediata para salvar vidas<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

\"Pas\u00f3 de tener una enfermedad potencialmente mortal de la que mucha gente muere, a estar en casa en una semana. Fue incre\u00edble\", dice el Dr. Cohn tras proporcionarle cuidados de seguimiento.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

De vuelta a casa, Joe tiene un largo camino de recuperaci\u00f3n. Sin embargo, al tener acceso a un espectro de cuidados cardiacos<\/a> - cerca de casa, tiene suerte de estar vivo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Eran tan eficientes en Monumento a Charlton<\/a>y estoy muy impresionada. Se los recomendar\u00eda a todo el mundo\", dice Gail. La capacidad del equipo de Cuidados Cr\u00edticos Card\u00edacos para identificar r\u00e1pidamente el problema, revisar su historial m\u00e9dico y tratarlo con urgencia le salv\u00f3 la vida.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hoy, Joe nos cuenta que est\u00e1 recuperando las fuerzas y que ha vuelto a la mayor\u00eda de sus rutinas normales. Este mes empieza a trabajar en un nuevo puesto, agradecido por una segunda oportunidad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
