005 Patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction sent for primary percutaneous coronary intervention but who do not receive it: Results from a systematic province-wide evaluation
transmitted. All 16 healthcare regions used prehospital alerts of the firstemergencyroom.AmongpatientswithoutphECG,aprehospital alert was associated with shorter door-to-device times in patients treated by direct admission primary PCI [81 min (46-174) no alert vs 67 min (36-150) with alert; P 0.004] and to a lesser degree in patients treated with fibrinolysis [29 min (13-73) no alert vs 26.5 min (10-58.5) with alert; P 0.7]. CONCLUSIONS: This second province-wide evaluation of STEMI care shows that prehospital alerts to the first emergency room and phECGs decrease times to treatment especially for primary PCI.
In this study, several predictive enhanced oil recovery (EOR) techniques are used to evaluate potential thermal oil recovery techniques that could be applied on a very heavy oil (10-12°API) field located in Southeast Turkey. Two of the EOR techniques were found to be applicable after the screening process: in situ combustion and steam injection. Sensitivity of the processes to several operating parameters, such as steam injection rate, air injection rate, and steam quality, were established. It was observed that initial project life was not critical in steam injection. However, at higher air injection rates project life was shorter for in situ combustion. As a result of steam-flood and in situ combustion model applications, it was observed that the steam-flood model provided higher recoveries and longer project lives with low residual oil saturation.
