STEMI Protocols

STEMI protocols guide healthcare teams in quickly recognizing and treating a Type of heart attack caused by a complete blockage in a coronary artery. Prompt actions include assessing symptoms, performing an ECG to confirm the diagnosis, and immediately restoring blood flow, often through procedures like angioplasty or medications such as clot-busters. These protocols aim to minimize heart muscle damage, improve recovery outcomes, and ensure rapid, coordinated care involving emergency services, cardiologists, and hospital staff to save lives.
