Emergency Cardiac & Stroke System Why do we need a system? What are the components? How will it work in Washington?
Slide 4-

Why do we need a system? Systems minimize delays in the chain of survival Deliver the right patient, to the right place, in the right amount of time.
Slide 5-

People aren’t getting proven treatments Only 3% strokes get t-PA Only 35 of 95 hospital administered t-PA Estimated 39% of heart attacks get PCI Only 55% of hospitals give lytics under 30 min OHCA survival rates very low Variation in care and outcomes across the state Population at greatest risk increasing rapidly Time to treatment makes big difference in outcomes Because we can do better Why do we need a system?

Emergency Cardiac Care Prehospital protocol guidelines Triage tool Hospital levels Completely blocked artery
Slide 15-

NOTE: Insert your DOH approved local protocols if different from but consistent with the ACS protocol guidelines that follow this slide. You might also want to insert your CPA-ROSC protocols and any other cardiac protocols you have since the triage and destination procedure includes CPA-ROSC. Prehospital Protocols
Slide 16-

ACS BLS Protocol I. Scene Size-Up/Initial Patient Assessment A) Monitor/support ABC’s B) Be prepared to provide CPR/defibrillation
Slide 17-

II. Focused History and Physical Exam A) Assess patient for signs and symptoms of Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS) Chest discomfort (pressure, crushing pain, tightness, heaviness, cramping, burning, aching sensation), usually in the center of the chest lasting more than a few minutes, or that goes away and comes back. Epigastric (stomach) discomfort, such as unexplained indigestion, belching, or pain. Shortness of breath with or without chest discomfort. Radiating pain or discomfort in 1 or both arms, neck, jaws, shoulders, or back. ACS BLS Protocol (cont.)
Slide 18-

Other symptoms may include sweating, nausea, vomiting, or dizziness and weakness. Women, diabetics, and geriatric patients might not have chest discomfort or pain. Instead they might have nausea/vomiting, back or jaw pain, fatigue/weakness, or generalized complaints. ACS BLS Protocol (cont.)
Slide 19-

B) If possible ACS patient – request ALS response or arrange ALS rendezvous. Optional in areas without ALS or 12-lead capable ILS: Perform 12-lead ECG according to local operating procedures, and alert receiving facility with results; repeat ECG if signs or symptoms change. C) Limit scene time with goal of ≤ 15 minutes ACS BLS Protocol (cont.)
Slide 20-

III. Management A) Administer oxygen per protocol B) Administer 160 to 325 mg nonenteric-coated aspirin, crushed or chewed (unless allergy history) C) Assist patient with own nitro Contraindications: SBP <90 mm Hg. Severe bradycardia (heart rate < 50/min) or tachycardia (>100/min) Erectile dysfunction drugs taken within 48 hours. Cautions: Borderline hypotension (SBP 90 to 100 mm Hg) Borderline bradycardia (HR<60/min) Extreme caution in patients who may have RV infarction ACS BLS Protocol (cont.)
Slide 21-

IV. Ongoing Assessment V. Transport Follow State Prehospital Cardiac Triage Destination Procedure Note: If 12 lead ECG and interpretation (by crew or machine) can be obtained in the field—obtain as soon as possible and alert receiving facility with results ACS BLS Protocol (cont.)

Cardiac Triage Tool Assess Applicability for Triage Post cardiac arrest with ROSC -OR- ≥ 21 years of age with symptoms lasting more than 10 minutes but less than 12 hours suspected to be caused by coronary artery disease: Chest discomfort (pressure, crushing pain, tightness, heaviness, cramping, burning, aching sensation), usually in the center of the chest lasting more than a few minutes, or that goes away and comes back. Pain or discomfort in 1 or both arms, neck, jaws, shoulders, or back. Shortness of breath with or without chest discomfort. Epigastric (stomach) discomfort, such as unexplained indigestion, belching, or pain. Other symptoms may include sweating, nausea/vomiting, lightheadedness. NOTE: Women, diabetics, and geriatric patients might not have chest discomfort or pain. Instead they might have nausea/vomiting, back or jaw pain, fatigue/weakness, or generalized complaints. Transport per regional patient care procedures YES If ALS has not been dispatched, upgrade if available. NO Assess Immediate Criteria Post cardiac arrest with return of spontaneous circulation Hypotension or pulmonary edema EKG positive for STEMI (if available) YES
Slide 30-

Cardiac Triage Tool (cont.) If EMS personnel still suspect ACS, contact medical control for destination. If not, transport per regional patient care procedures. Assess High Risk Criteria In addition to symptoms in Box 1, pt has 4 or more of the following: Age ≥ 55 3 or more CAD risk factors:  family hx  BP  cholesterol  Diabetes  current smoker Aspirin use in last 7 days ≥2 anginal events in last 24 hours, including current episode Known coronary disease ST deviation ≥ 0.5 (if available) Elevated cardiac markers (if available) NO Assess Immediate Criteria Post cardiac arrest with return of spontaneous circulation Hypotension or pulmonary edema EKG positive for STEMI (if available) YES If ALS has not been dispatched, upgrade if available. NO YES YES
Slide 31-

Assess High Risk Criteria (4 or more) 3 or more CAD (coronary artery disease) risk factors: Age ≥ 55 (epidemiological data in WA State show that incidence of heart attack increases at this age) Family history: father or brother with heart disease before 55, or mother or sister before 65 High blood pressure: ≥140/90, or patient/family report, or on blood pressure medication High cholesterol: patient/family report or on cholesterol medication Diabetes: patient family report Current smoker: patient family report Aspirin use in last 7 days: any aspirin use in last 7 days ≥2 anginal events in last 24 hours: 2 episodes of symptoms described in first box of the triage tool, including the current event Known coronary disease: history of angina, heart attack, cardiac arrest, congestive heart failure, balloon angioplasty, stent, or bypass surgery ST deviation ≥ 0.5 mm (if available): ST depression ≥ 0.5 mm is significant; transient ST elevation ≥ 0.5 mm for < 20 minutes is treated as ST-segment depression and is high risk; ST elevation >1 mm for more than 20 minutes places these patients in the STEMI treatment category Elevated cardiac markers (if available) CK-MB or Troponin I in the "high probability" range of the device used. Only definitely positive results should be used in triage decisions.
Slide 32-

Even if patient does not meet High Risk Criteria (i.e. only 3 boxes positive), EMS crew may still have high index of suspicion that patient is a high risk ACS patient (i.e. patient has had 4 stents and states “this feels just like last heart attack”) Contact medical control and consult with physician or RN for appropriate patient destination. No High Risk Criteria—but EMS still suspects ACS Patient
Slide 33-

Cardiac Triage Tool (cont.) Go to Level I Cardiac Hospital and alert destination hospital en route ASAP Assess Transport Time and Determine Destination by Level of Prehospital Care* Level I Cardiac Hospital w/in 30 minutes Level I Cardiac Hospital w/in 60 minutes Level II Cardiac Hospital 60 minutes closer than Level I? Level II Cardiac Hospital 30 minutes closer than Level I? Go to Level I Cardiac Hospital and alert destination hospital en route ASAP Go to closest Level II Cardiac Hospital and alert destination hospital en route ASAP YES Unstable patients with life-threatening arrhythmias, severe respiratory distress, or shock unresponsive to EMS treatment should be taken to the closest hospital. YES YES NO NO YES NO BLS/ILS ALS YES
Slide 34-

Asses Transport Time & Determine Destination by Level of Prehospital Care Slight modifications to the transport times may be made in county operating procedures. Consider ALS and air transport for all transports greater than 30 minutes. If there are two or more Level I facilities to choose from within the transport timeframe, patient preference, insurance coverage, physician practice patterns, and local rotation agreements may be considered in determining destination. This also applies if there are two or more Level II facilities to choose from.
Slide 35-

Determine Destination The general guideline is to take a patient meeting the triage criteria directly to a Level I cardiac (24/7 Cardiac Cath Lab) hospital within reasonable transport times. For BLS, this is generally within 30 minutes transport time, and for ALS, generally 60 minutes transport time (see next section for further guidance). Inform the hospital en route so staff can activate the cath lab and call in staff if necessary.
Slide 36-

Cardiac Destination Examples Insert examples from your area BLS examples: A) minutes to Level 1 – minutes to Level 2 = 29: go to Level 1 B) Minutes to Level 1 – minutes to Level 2 = 35: go to Level 2 ALS examples: A) minutes to Level 1 – minutes to Level 2 = 45: go to Level 1 B) Minutes to Level 1 – minutes to Level 2 = 68: go to Level 2 If ineligible for fibrinolytics, transport to closest Level 1 hospital even if greater than 60 minutes or rendezvous with air transport. EMS must inform the hospital en route so staff can initiate cardiac protocols and call in staff if necessary.
Slide 37-

Cardiac team activation policy and criteria based on EMS pre-arrival notification Cardiac protocols include use of induced hypothermia for post-cardiac arrest patients. Participate in regional QI program that includes EMS Provide training for EMS if requested, particularly in reading ECG for STEMI No divert policy for emergency cardiac cases Emergency Cardiac Hospitals

Signs of a Stroke
Slide 43-

I. Scene Size-Up/Initial Patient Assessment A) Support ABCs B) Check glucose, temperature, SpO2 (if possible) C) Treat hypoglycemia (if possible) D) NPO II. Secondary Survey A) Perform FAST Assessment (Face/Arms/Speech/Time last normal). If one component is abnormal, high probability of stroke. Refer to stroke destination triage tool. Time from last normal will determine destination. B) Limit scene time with goal of ≤ 15 minutes. Stroke Protocol
Slide 44-

III. Transport A) Early hospital notification - specify FAST findings (issue stroke alert & share abnormal physical findings and time last normal). B) Transport according to Washington State Stroke Triage Tool and regional patient care procedures. C) If closest appropriate facility is greater than 30 minutes, consider air transport when appropriate. Stroke Protocol (cont.)
Slide 45-

IV. Management/Ongoing Assessment en route A) Lay patient flat unless signs of airway compromise, in which case elevate no higher than 20 degrees. B) IV access (as able) Ideally, 16 or 18 ga IV in unaffected arm (affected arm is acceptable) Normal saline (avoid glucose-containing and hypotonic solutions) 3) Optional: Blood draw with IV start C) 2nd exam/neuro reassessment D) Optional: initiate tPA checklist Stroke Protocol (cont.)
