Division of Advanced Internal Medicine with a Coronary Care Unit of the General Hospital “Dr Ivo. Pedišić” Sisak

Sažetak

The Division of Advanced Internal Medicine with a Coronary Care Unit is part of the Internal
Medicine Department of the Sisak General Hospital (GH). It has ten beds and houses patients with
critical internal medicine conditions. Patients are tended by eighteen nurses and three cardiologists.
The department is equipped with all the medical devices and medications required for reanimation.
Cardiovascular patients comprise a large part of the patients treated at the department. Prior to the
founding of the Croatian Network for Interventional Treatment of Acute Myocardial Infarction patients
with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) were treated with fibrinolysis, but this method is rarely applied
today. Patients with AMI are transported to the University Hospital Centre “Sestre milosrdnice” for
percutaneous coronary intervention, after which they return to Sisak GH to continue treatment.
