"Special thanks to the doctors from Yantai Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital. It was their quick and accurate judgment that enabled them to immediately activate the 'double bypass' emergency mode, allowing me to receive treatment at the most critical moment!" said Mr. Li, the patient, with deep gratitude. Behind this simple and sincere expression of thanks lies a race against time to save lives. From the ambulance's arrival at the hospital to the precise opening of the patient's blocked blood vessels, the entire process took only 31 minutes, creating a 'life highway' for the patient and setting a new record for emergency "heart" speed! 
A few days ago, Mr. Li, who was busy at home, suddenly felt chest tightness and chest pain. After taking no effect from self-medication, he called 120 for help. The emergency department doctors from our hospital arrived at Mr. Li's home and quickly diagnosed that the patient had acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction. This made the doctors present feel a bit worried. They knew that this disease was extremely dangerous. The blocked blood vessels were like a bomb that could explode at any moment. Every second was crucial for life and death. If not operated immediately, the patient could suffer cardiac arrest at any time.
The situation was critical! The emergency department doctors made a prompt decision and immediately contacted Deputy Director Li Xiaojie of the Cardiology Department for remote consultation. They also suggested that the family follow the "double bypass" plan, that is, bypass the regular emergency department and CCU procedures and directly enter the catheterization room for cardiac interventional treatment surgery. At the same time, the catheterization room of the hospital was also fully prepared for all work. Thus, a race against death officially entered the final sprint stage.
When the ambulance arrived at the hospital, the entire surgical team of the Cardiology Department in the emergency room was already in combat readiness. The patient was sent directly to the catheterization room at the fastest speed. At this time, the patient's face was painful, with continuous chest tightness, chest pain, and profuse sweating. The coronary angiography showed that the proximal segment of the right coronary artery had been blocked. The blood pressure was as low as 70/35 mmHg, and the heart rate had dropped to 28 beats per minute. In the face of such an urgent situation, the surgical team did not delay for a moment and immediately started the operation, using superb techniques to quickly pass the guide wire and perform balloon dilation and stent implantation surgery for the patient.

After a tense and meticulous operation, the patient's blocked right coronary artery was finally successfully opened. The chest tightness and chest pain symptoms gradually began to ease, and the patient's vital signs gradually stabilized. When the news of the successful operation was announced, all the medical staff present felt relieved and breathed a sigh of relief. The family waiting outside the operating room also burst into tears of joy. Subsequently, the patient was transferred to the ward for further observation and treatment.

 Currently, the patient's symptoms have completely subsided, and the recovery condition is good, with all vital signs stabilizing.
After the operation, the nursing team of the Cardiology Department implemented a traditional Chinese medicine care project with the characteristics of wax therapy and herbal wrapping for Mr. Li. The warm medicinal force penetrated his muscles to achieve the effect of warming the meridians, promoting circulation, and promoting blood circulation and dissolving blood stasis. This further promoted his physical recovery after the operation.
Deputy Director Li Xiaojie of the Cardiology Department said that in this rescue, the family's high trust in the hospital and their full cooperation won precious time for the successful treatment; at the same time, the efficient chest pain rescue process established by the hospital enabled the 120 pre-hospital emergency personnel, the Cardiology Department team, and the catheterization room doctors to closely cooperate and interlock, significantly shortening the rescue time, fully demonstrating the rescue concept of "time is myocardium, time is life".
