• Contact Interventional cardiologist 24/7 if patient meets STEMI criteria
    • call switch and ask for “interventional cardiologist”
    • if uncontactable, try the cath lab directly x38561 (or send an MO over with the ECG)
    • also LAN page the cardiology registrar in hours p.130
  • ED’s priority is to stablise the patient and prepare patient for transport to the lab. Aspirin and bolus heparin and tirofiban should be given (see below), but do NOT delay transfer to commence infusions.
