Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Hypotension
SBP \<100mmHg
At ED arrival. This will be assessed at the end of the prehospital phase of care, taken from the first set of vital signs on arrival at the emergency department. Average transport 15 minutes.
Secondary Outcomes (2)
Pain Relief
At ED arrival. This will be assessed at the end of the prehospital phase of care, taken from the first set of vital signs on arrival at the emergency department. Average transport 15 minutes.
Mortality
At hospital discharge. Patients will be followed until hospital discharge, anticipated median 3 days.
Eligibility Criteria
The subjects will be patients with STEMI identified in the field and transported to a study site.
You may qualify if:
- Identified by paramedics as having a STEMI.
- Transported to a study site.
You may not qualify if:
- Under 18 years of age
- Primary complaint of trauma
- Cardiac arrest upon EMS arrival
- Transported to a non-study site
- Transferred from another hospital
