Zusammenfassung
Seit 2008 baut die Deutsche Gesellschaft für Kardiologie ein Netzwerk von zertifizierten Chest Pain Units (CPU) auf. Generelles Ziel einer CPU ist es, einen akuten oder neu aufgetretenen unklaren Thoraxschmerz rasch und zielgerichtet hinsichtlich der Diagnose oder möglicher Differenzialdiagnosen abzuklären und umgehend therapeutische Maßnahmen einzuleiten. Darüber hinaus dient die CPU der Abklärung weiterer akuter kardiovaskulärer Erkrankungen bei hämodynamisch stabilen Patienten. Grundlage für den bisherigen Zertifizierungsprozess waren Kriterien, die von der Task Force CPU festgelegt und veröffentlicht worden sind. Sie regeln die räumlichen und apparativen Voraussetzungen sowie die diagnostischen und therapeutischen Maßnahmen insbesondere bei Patienten mit Verdacht auf ein akutes Koronarsyndrom, allerdings nicht begrenzt auf Patienten mit akutem Brustschmerz. Weiterhin werden die Anforderungen an Kooperationspartner sowie die Ausbildungsvoraussetzungen des Personals einer CPU festgelegt. Der Prozess der Zertifizierung wird von der DGK organisiert und durchgeführt. Zum Zeitpunkt dieser Veröffentlichung sind 292 CPUs zertifiziert und bereits 244 CPUs einmal und 116 CPUs bereits zum zweiten Mal nach erfolgreichem Audit rezertifiziert. Aktuell wurden die Zertifizierungskriterien überarbeitet und orientieren sich an den aktuellen ESC-Leitlinien.
Abstract
Since 2008 the German Cardiac Society (DGK) has established a network of certified chest pain units (CPU). The general goal of a CPU is a rapid and targeted clarification of acute or newly occurring unclear chest pains with respect to the diagnosis or possible differential diagnoses and to immediately initiate treatment measures. Furthermore, another task of a CPU is the clarification of other acute cardiovascular diseases in hemodynamically stable patients. The foundations for the certification process were so far criteria established and published by the CPU task force. They regulate the spatial and technical requirements and determine the diagnostic and therapeutic strategies, particularly for patients with suspected acute coronary syndrome but not exclusively restricted to patients with chest pains. Furthermore, the requirements for cooperation partners and the training requirements for the personnel of a CPU are defined. The certification process is organized and carried out by the DGK. At the time of publication 292 CPUs have received certification, 244 have received a first and 116 CPUs a second recertification after a successful audit. These certification criteria have now been revised and updated to comply with the most recent version of the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) guidelines.
