Prehospital Capabilities and EMS Destination Protocols for STEMI & Stroke
Manage episode 418145604 series 3289457
The chain of survival for a cardiac emergency and stroke start the same:
1. preparedness & recognition of an emergency;
2. activation of EMS;
3. delivery of Advanced Life Support; and
4. transporting to the most appropriate facility.
ALS ambulances are staffed with paramedics who have training in ACLS skills.
Why EMS "Destination Protocols" for suspected stroke and STEMI make a difference.
ACLS’s timed benchmarks for:
- point of first medical contact to PCI for ST elevation MI;
- door to tPA for ischemic stroke; and
- onset of symptoms to EVT for LVO strokes.
Why EMS should bypass a close hospital to transport a STEMI or suspected stroke patient to a hospital capable of 24/7 PCI or a certified stroke center.
