STEMI MasterClass: Make the Right Call!

You are not an Uber driver with a 12-lead. You are the First Medical Contact, and your STEMI decisions make a profound difference. We have come a long way;  however, the potential for improvement is greater than we may realize, and achieving it is easier than we suspect. The STEMI MasterClass conveys exactly how individuals and systems can improve STEMI identification while reducing false-positive activations. 

This program revitalizes the importance of prehospital STEMI alerts and challenges complacency. After the call to action, the focus shifts to lessons learned approach with specific, immediately actionable strategies that can significantly increase appropriate STEMI activation.  Participants are often surprised by both the difference they can make and the potential for improvement within their existing protocol. Topics include 15-lead ECGs, OMI (STEMI equivalents), and quickly ruling out the most common STEMI impostors, as well as the Sgarbossa criteria and other strategies to suspect STEMI in the midst of an impostor.
