  14. Treatment • Open them up • Keep them open • Maximize oxygen delivery to myocardium

  15. Open up!

  16. Treatment: Reperfusion • PTCA • Thrombolysis

  18. Treatment

  19. The AHA Document

  20. The a-ha Document

  21. Treatment: Oxygen Delivery • Oxygen • Morphine • NTG • b Blockade

  22. Treatment: Morphine

  23. Treatment: Morphine

  24. Treatment: Morphine?

  25. Treatment: Morphine

  26. Treatment: Oxygen Delivery • Oxygen • Morphine • NTG • b Blockade

  27. Nitro

  28. Nitro: a-ha!

  29. Nitro • 1 tab q5 min • Fail  IV @ 10 mcg/min • Contraindications: • Systolic < 90 • Sildenafil in past 24h

  30. Nitro: uh-oh!

  31. Nitro: uh-oh! • 120/90 -------------> 8/2

  35. Treatment: Oxygen Delivery • Oxygen • Morphine • NTG • b Blockade

  36. beta

  37. beta • What drug? • What route?

  38. beta • What drug? • It truly does not matter

  39. beta • What drug? • It truly does not matter • Metoprolol is mentioned quite fondly, though

  40. beta • What route? • a-ha: • Class I: Oral beta blocker therapy should be initiated within the first 24h for patients who do not have contraindications • Class II: It is reasonable to administer IV BB at the time of presentation for hypertension to UA/NSTEMI patients who do not have contraindications

  41. beta • a-ha: • Class III: It may be harmful to administer IV BB to UA/NSTEMI patients who have contraindications to beta blockade

  42. beta

  43. beta

  44. beta • Oral beta blockade is recommended.

  45. Treatment: Oxygen Delivery • Oxygen: yes! • Morphine: probably… • NTG: watch pressure and RVI • b Blockade: oral unless you’ve got a good reason

  46. Treatment: Antithrombosis • ASA: dosage • Heparin/LMWH • GpIIb/IIIa inhibitors • Clopidogrel

  47. Aspirin • Potent irreversible antiplatelet • The most important intervention • Fifty. Percent. Mortality. Reduction.
