STEMI Alert Program Video

MidMichigan Medical Center-EMS Paramedics Zach Krahner and Jamie Campbell discuss the importance of dialing 911 in a cardiac emergency. They also explain MidMichigan Health's Regional STEMI Alert Program, which was developed to rapidly identify patients suffering from the most serious type of heart attack, an ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). This program is designed to train paramedics on how to quickly identify STEMI patients so that they can implement lifesaving protocols to bypass the closest Emergency Department and take the patient to the nearest Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) Center. Upon arrival, the patient is taken directly to the Cath Lab so that blood flow can be quickly reestablished to their heart. For more information, visit www.midmichigan.org/stemi.
