0821 – Metric 56 | Time to Primary PCI Among Transferred Patients

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video discusses a case scenario involving a 75-year-old male who arrived at the emergency department with chest pain and shortness of breath. The patient was diagnosed with NSTEMI and was recommended to be transferred to a PCI-capable facility due to ongoing symptoms. During transport, the patient's chest pain worsened, and an ECG revealed STEMI. The patient was directly admitted to the cath lab at Hospital B, where a PCI was performed. The video then poses a question regarding whether this patient would be included in the denominator of metric 56 at Hospital B. The answer is no because metric 56 evaluates the timely transfer of STEMI patients, and this patient was diagnosed with NSTEMI and had the first STEMI ECG during transportation. The video concludes by thanking viewers for watching. No credits were mentioned in the transcript.
