Objectives Introduce Dr. M. Murray, Selma Mitchell, Maureen Sullivan. Discuss Heart attack treatment Introduce the Research Initiative. Discuss Bypass Protocol. Outline Paramedic Role. Illustrate Clinical Procedure. County of Simcoe Paramedic Services
Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) vs. Thrombolysis (Clot Busters) Lower composite of death, reinfarction & stroke (8% versus 14%). County of Simcoe Paramedic Services
The Research Initiative Collaboration between: County of Simcoe Paramedic Services. Southlake Regional Health Centre. Royal Victoria Hospital. Simcoe Muskoka Base Hospital Program. PCP vs. ACP County of Simcoe Paramedic Services
Process Steering Committee Established: SRHC Staff, Physicians & Cardiologists. SMBHP Medical Director & Program Manager. CSPS Director. RVH Physicians and staff. CACC Policy Liaison Officer. Establish Proposed Practices. Research Ethics Boards Approval. County of Simcoe Paramedic Services
Project Goals Provide Simcoe County with the current standard of practice for patients with STEMI. Identify candidates for hospital bypass. Timely transportation of patients from “field” or RVH to SRHC in maximum of 60 minutes (including assessment). Provide intervention when necessary. Collect data related to project. County of Simcoe Paramedic Services
To Achieve Best Patient Outcomes Early identification of STEMI. Early deployment of the cath team. Bypassing the closest hospital. Direct transfer to the PCI Center. County of Simcoe Paramedic Services

Conclusion Increased collaboration of health care partners, enhancing patient care. “It is estimated that there would be 23 less deaths, 42 less non-fatal reinfarctions and 11 less strokes per 1,000 patients treated with primary PCI rather than a fibrinolytic”. County of Simcoe Paramedic Services
