1. This document discusses several scenarios involving patients experiencing potential heart attacks and the appropriate emergency response, including ECG diagnosis and management plans.
2. Per NHS QIS standards, the goal is to minimize time from ECG to balloon (PPCI) or needle (thrombolysis). If PPCI isn't possible within 40 minutes, thrombolysis may be administered instead.
3. One scenario details a patient receiving thrombolysis more than 90 minutes after symptoms due to long transport time, who then underwent PPCI at the hospital with first balloon inflation 23 minutes later, meeting NHS standards.
