Acute Coronary Syndrome - Managing STEMI whiteboard lesson from Health Ed Solutions to guide healthcare providers on the STEMI Chain of Survival’s management of ACS based on the 12-lead ECG. This ACLS algorithm lesson is up-to-date with the latest 2020 / 2021 ILCOR and AHA (American Heart Association) guidelines.
👉 The EMS team should perform the 12-lead ECG on the ACS patient if this is within their capabilities.
👉 The 12-lead ECG should be sent ahead to the receiving hospital to be used in triage and prepare for the treatment plan.
👉 For patients with STEMI or presumably new left bundle branch block who are 12 hrs or less from onset of symptoms, the goals are:
✔ Fibrinolytics within 30 mins of arrival in the ED or
✔ PCI within 90 mins of arrival
👉 Studies show that when fibrinolytic therapy is given within the first hour of onset of symptoms for STEMI patients, there is a 47% reduction in mortality rate.
