Using EMS Dispatch to Trigger STEMI Alerts Decreases Door-to-Balloon Times
Introduction: We sought to determine the potential reduction in door-to-balloon time (DTB) by allowing paramedics to perform prehospital ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI) notification using brief communications via emergency medical services (EMS) 9-1-1 dispatchers as soon as they saw a STE...
