0121 - Metric 56 | Time to Primary PCI Among Transferred Patients

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, the Chest Pain MI Registry presents a case scenario regarding metric 56, which measures the time to primary PCI among transferred patients. The patient in question is a 52-year-old male who presented to the ED with severe ankle pain after falling. While investigating for a possible fracture, an ECG was performed and showed a STEMI. The patient was transferred to a PCI-capable facility and underwent primary PCI. However, the time to device was 121 minutes, which exceeds the recommended 120 minutes. As a result, the patient is excluded from metric 56 due to the newly approved denominator exception. The video emphasizes the importance of interhospital transfer for timely primary PCI in cases of STEMI.
