The Efficacy of Advanced Life Support: A Review of the Liter

Well, that was about as non-commital a response as we can hope to see.

As patients get older, they have a harder time distinguishing and describing their symptoms, so it will be harder to justify a non-transport protocol.

The PCI eligibility of patients still relies on the receiving facility being willing to support the decision that the paramedic is telling them needs to be made. Most physcians have a hard time with this. Whether it is a matter of ego, or disbelief, if they don't believe what we tell them, they won't speed up their decision making. Even worse, most cardiologists want to see the ECG, before they make a decision on what to do.

That's your cue, Ace. I know you have the paramedic to cardiologist ECG fax study ready to fly. Before we get to that, it shows that when paramedics identify a PCI candidate, the faxed ECG will support that decision in most cases.
