STEMI (segment elevation myocardial infraction) Protocol

When a STEMI is involved, communications breakdowns can endanger the patient as well as waste time and effort.

         
  When patients are deemed likely to have a STEMI by ambulance personnel, the emergency medical team calls to alert the destination hospital. This puts into motion a process in which all appropriate departments are made aware of the situation and on standby for treatment, a surgical suite is reserved and a bed in ICU made available, the cardiology resident and attending are alerted, etc. Unfortunately, this manual, “phone-tree” preparation method -- can break down at any point in the notification process, thus endangering the patient, or afterward, should the alert be no longer warranted, wasting valuable resources.   The peerVue STEMI solution space acts as an alert and acknowledgement system, allowing notifications to be launched in one click. Data collected also can be used to benchmark against goals and foster continuous improvement.
