Video Summary

This video is a case scenario from the Chest Pain MI Registry in May. It describes a 56-year-old female who presents to the emergency department with shortness of breath and chest pain. She is found to have a positive troponin test and a positive ECG for STEMI. The cath lab is activated and the patient undergoes a percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) procedure. However, due to the tortuosity of her artery, the procedure is aborted. The video then discusses how to code the first device activation date and time, as well as whether this patient should be included in the numerator for metric 37, which measures the time from first medical contact to device activation in primary PCI cases. The answer is that the first device activation date and time should be coded as 5-5-20 at 8 a.m., and the patient should be included in the numerator for metric 37 as her device activation time was within 90 minutes. The video concludes by explaining the definitions and criteria for primary PCI and the numerator and denominator for metric 37. No credits are mentioned in the video.
