1020 - Metric 56 | Time to Primary PCI Among Transferred Patients

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, the case scenario involves a 53-year-old male with a history of hypertension who presented to a rural hospital with abdominal pain. He developed symptoms of shortness of breath and sweating while waiting in the triage. An ECG showed STEMI, and the patient was transported to another hospital for primary PCI. However, there were delays in transportation due to weather conditions. The patient arrived at the second hospital and underwent PCI. The video discusses whether this patient will be included in the numerator for metric 56, which measures time to primary PCI among transferred patients. The answer is no, and the video explains various criteria for exclusion or exception from the denominator. It also emphasizes the importance of system improvement and timely feedback to ensure optimal care for STEMI patients.
