1 scenario overview Summary of case Patient is a 68-year-old male who developed chest pain 1 hour ago. His EKG reveals ST elevation. (ACS) treatment is required. End point is disposition to an in-house Cardiac Cath Lab (CCL), receiving CCL or admission to ICU if thrombolytic is administered in ED. Progressive Complexity Experiences ventricular fibrillation Potential Systems Explored Time to EKG and ED Assessment Time to chose and implement reperfusion strategy Door-to-Needle Door-to-Balloon inflation Length 20 minutes Target group Multidisciplinary ED team Physician Primary Nurse 2nd RN ED Tech Respiratory Therapy Confederates Family member (wife) Emergency scenario 1 page 1

2 LEARNING OBJECTIVES General Learning Objectives Communicate effectively with patient/family Communicate effectively with team using crisis resource management skills Demonstrate safety initiatives including medication safety practices Demonstrate safety initiatives including workplace safety practices Maintain infection control standards Scenario Specific Objectives Obtain EKG within 10 minutes of admission to ED Recognize EKG findings for ST segment elevation Activate the ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) system of care Implement AHA ACS algorithm in managing a STEMI patient Administer pharmacological agents for pain relief as an aid to reperfusion therapy Perform steps needed to attain treatment goals to treat eligible STEMI patients: > Fibrinolytic therapy within 30 minutes of arrival to the ED > Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) within 90 minutes of arrival to the ED Debriefing Overview Review learning objectives Review teamwork skills Review management of patient with Review communication skills including use of SBAR What went well? What might have been done differently/better? Share key assessments and interventions/events What was learned that can be taken back to the real workplace? Emergency scenario 1 page 2
