EMS and Transportation to the Most Appropriate Facility
Manage episode 432756247 series 3289457
The chain of survival for a cardiac emergency and stroke start the same:
- preparedness & recognition of an emergency;
- activation of EMS;
- delivery of Advanced Life Support; and
- 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.
