Pre-Hosp ECG obtained on 72% of STEMI pts arriving by EMS

26% of STEMI pts who walk in to ED’s are waiting for more than 10 minutes for their first ECG

 Recommended DIDO 30 min  If expected delays D2B >120 mins give Lytics

Median Time 125 mins

Prehospital activation is the most important thing that EMS can do to increase the chance that a STEMI patient will achieve FMC to device in < 90 mins. EMS must work to increase the rate of obtaining field ECGs in patients with suspected STEMI. Successful prehospital activation depends on calling the ED as soon as STEMI is recognized on the field ECG. Transmission of the field ECG is secondary and should not delay a phone call to alert the ED of a “code STEMI”. Take home points: Direct presentation by EMS

If there is a nearby STEMI receiving center (24/7 PCI center), EMS should bypass referral centers and go directly to receiving centers. Centers that transfer STEMI patients and/or receive these transfer patients must work together to reduce Door-in-door-out time and reduce patient transport times to the STEMI receiving facility. If anticipated Door-to-Door-to-Device time > 120 minutes, give fibrinolytic at the first hospital. Take home points: Transfers
