What this Trial Is About
Chest pain is a commonly encountered presentation in the emergency department (ED), with an incidence ranging from 5 to 12%. Chest pain has a wide range of aetiologies from the mildest to the most severe. In benign forms these pains can be musculoskeletal, psychogenic or even indeterminate (\>60% depending on the place of recruitment). Coronary aetiology represents 12 to 25% of severe forms. The management of chest pain in the emergency department is part of the daily life of nurses. According to the french 2020 Nurse Reception Organizer (IOA) guidelines, a nurse who has been trained for this role is required to "triage" (severity grade and orientation) patients presenting for this reason. The presence of specialized nurses in the management of chest pain allows faster initial management. To date, no study has been conducted to assess the diagnostic and treatment performance of a nursing pathway for the management of patients presenting with acute chest pain regardless of the suspected diagnosis and not only acute coronary syndrome.
