Myocardial Infarction – Acute: Difference between revisions

Latest revision as of 08:21, 20 November 2020

Redirect to:

Acute MI has become increasingly common in our population and, as a result, our use of lytics has increased. If acute MI is suspected, the order set for chest pain will be initiated. Cardiology is usually available at ANMC to review your EKG if you wish before initiating lytics. Most acute MI patients will be medevac’d to ANMC – possible exceptions include the elderly with multiple co-morbid conditions who aren’t eligible for operative intervention.
If you give lytics, the patient goes via medevac to ANMC.
