Abstract :

Introduction Nurses play an important role in detecting patients at risk of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) to facilitating their diagnosis and treatment. This literature review aims to know the parameters that can predict acute coronary syndrome (ACS) patients in the Emergency Departments (EDs). Methods Databases in the systematic review were PudMed, Sciencedirect, and Researchgate. The inclusion criteria included the patients in the EDs diagnosed with ACS. Data search, filtering and processing were carried out using a PRISMA flow chart while assessment of the quality of research was implemented by using the JBI. Results The obtained results were seven research articles. The research showed that predicted parameters ACS consisted of a sequence of comprehensive examination even though the major examination was ECG assessment of symptoms such as chest pain and other typical complaints that became their particular concern. Conclusion Finally, this systematic review showed that parameters that can predict ACS consist of a sequence of comprehensive examination besides main supporting examination is ECG assessment of symptoms such as chest pain and other typical complaints which become a particular concern. The researcher recommends a systematic review to be carried out on the same number of samples by specifying one common parameter as well as by taking into account the gender, age, culture and race of respondents that have not much difference.
