The general objective of this study is to evaluate the application of a support system in the management of chest pain cases in remote areas. This is a cross-sectional study, which evaluated 22,000 medical consultations, carried out from January 2015 to January 2019, with a population of employees from several companies in the oil and gas sector, served by a multinational central in a capital in Brazil. In the period from January 2015 to January 2019, 22,643 consultations were carried out in deep waters (offshore), of which 907 generated a non-urgent disembarkation or referral to the hospital due to medical recommendation and 97 aeromedical evacuations (Medevac - removal or medical disembarkation of emergency by air ambulance). Of these 97 Medevacs, 26 were due to cardiac complaints. Through the results obtained, we show that with the cardiac diagnostic kit and health professional, the indication of these disembarks were all correct and necessary, as confirmed in the in-hospital assistance.Downloads
