Common Practice

Common practice is based on care by emergency nurses who did not receive any systematized education of acute myocardial infarction led by interventional cardiology nurses. On the other hand, emergency management is based on Plan-Do-Study-Act methodology and in the historical sample some organizational improvement strategies did not exist or were beginning to be implemented
