CONSULTS:<br />
Cardiologist – Dr. Kelly: Can help interpret EKG. Will prompt participants for aspirin, and heparin if<br />
not already given. Will also prompt for cardiac catheterization after EKG is read as ST elevation MI.<br />
Primary Care Provider--Dr. Myers: If participants do not obtain EKG, recognize MI or do not activate<br />
catheterization lab, will call unprompted to advise EKG, rule-out MI protocol, possible cardiology<br />
consult.<br />
CLINICAL PROGRESSION:<br />
History and physical, IV/O 2 /monitor with immediate aspirin, stat portable CXR and ECG indicative of<br />
anterior MI. Consider intubation if necessary to maintain O 2 saturation (however, be prepared for a large<br />
portion of the debriefing to focus on airway management for this—avoid clinical indications for<br />
intubation if you want to avoid this). After physical exam and ECG reading, participants should activate<br />
catheterization lab and administer alpha/beta agonists (pressor agent and ino/chronotropes), and<br />
anticoagulants.<br />
If O 2 not provided or IV fluids initiated, patient complains of worsening shortness of breath:<br />
