2004 ACC/AHA Guideline Considerations
Fibrinolysis generally
preferred


Early presentation (≤ 3h
from sx onset and delay
to invasive strategy)
Invasive strategy not an
option (cath lab not
available, no vasc
access, lack of skilled
PCI lab)
Delay to Invasive
Strategy med contact to
balloon >90

ACC/AHA STEMI Guidelines 2004, Figure 3
Primary PCI generally
preferred
Skilled PCI lab available
(med contact to balloon <
90 min)

High risk STEMI
(cardiogenic shock, Killip
class ≥3)



Contraindication to lysis
Late presentation (>3 hrs)

Diagnosis in doubt
6 Proven Strategies to Reduce Door-to-Balloon Times
1) Having emerg physicians activate the cath lab
2) Having a single call to a central page operator activate cath
lab
3) Having the emergency dept activate the cath lab while the
patient is en route to the hospital
4) Expecting staff to arrive in the cath lab within 20 minutes
after being paged (vs. >30 minutes)
5) Having an attending cardiologist always on site
6) Having staff in the emerg dept and the cath lab use realtime data feedback

How our PPCI program was implemented
Identified by Division & senior hospital
administration as priority for hospital & region
EMS & base hospital directors invited to join
committee which met regularly to plan
implementation
“Mock” run-in done to assess paramedic ECG
interpretation, patient volume, impact on beds
Start with late-presenters to minimize impact of
any potential treatment delays related to
transfers

Primary PCI - SRHC Emerg Dept
Started 24/7 Primary PCI March 1/06
Approx 60 pts / yr (5 pts / month)
Median Door-to-Balloon Time: 85 min
Emerg MD calls ‘Code STEMI’, directly activates cath
lab
STEMI nurse gets patient up to cath lab quickly
Immediate feedback to ED after each case
Feb /08- EMS will bypass SRHC emerg dept
9803mo01,
Primary PCI – Simcoe EMS
Jan/07- STEMI pts in Simcoe County ambulances
brought directly to SRHC for primary PCI (Late
presenters or contraindications to lysis) if within 45
min to SRHC
Paramedics directly activate cath lab, STEMI nurse
meets EMS at front door & accompanies to cath lab
16 patients, Median Time from EMS arrival at scene
to 1st Inflation: 95 minutes
Median 53 min from ECG to arrival in cath lab
Only 1 incorrect ECG interpretation (paced rhythm)

9803mo01,
Primary PCI – RVH Emerg dept
Feb/07- STEMI pts in RVH Emerg Dept (“walk-ins”)
transferred to SRCH for primary PCI (Late presenters
or contraindications to lysis)
Transfer time from RVH to cath lab: 46 min
Time from ECG to ED departure remains too long
Developing strategies to minimize delays (eg.

Prehospital vs. Emerg Dept
Treatment times much quicker when STEMI
diagnosed pre-hospital
“Walk-In” patients often have more atypical, milder
symptoms
ED pts face additional delay of waiting for
ambulance
Physicians tend to slow down the process
 Less protocol-driven
 Initially reluctant to activate cath lab without
discussing case with another MD first
 Many different Emerg MD’s, each seeing only
few STEMI’s per year

Formal repatriation agreement developed with
RVH, MSH, OSMH, YCH
Includes patients who were brought by EMS,
never seen in community hospital

Lessons learned
The fewer physicians involved in decisionmaking the better
Gradual implementation in steps works best
Need complete ‘buy-in’ from hospital
administration, EMS, community hospitals
Start with late presenters until ‘well-greased’
system in place for consistent rapid transfers
Keep protocol as simple as possible

IMPROVING ACUTE MI CARE
PHASE ONE
• The three University of Toronto Interventional Cardiology
Programs, St. Michael’s Hospital, Sunnybrook Health
Sciences Centre and the University Health Network, have
agreed in principle to improve and optimize existing
emergent interventional services by joining forces and thus
providing a ‘guaranteed accept’ 24/7 service for patients in
the region requiring interventional care for failed
thrombolysis, very high risk patients in cardiogenic shock
or advanced Killip class, and those with contraindications to
thrombolytic therapy. This service, agreed to and signed off
on by the Administration of each of the three hospitals, St.
Michael’s Hospital, Sunnybrook Hospital and the University
Health Network, will apply the following principles: 43
University of Toronto
City-wide Cardiology Rounds
November 29, 2007
PHASE ONE
A single contact number to reach emergent interventional care
administered by CritiCall
A call schedule involving the three programs will be made
available to Criticall
The interventional cardiologist on call will be the contact at the
receiving interventional cardiology centre
There will be a NO REJECT policy, as is currently the case with
trauma and in some centres organ transplants.
In the case that the primary interventional on-call team is already
in the midst of an emergent procedure, the second on-call centre
will be contacted by CritiCall to accept a new patient.
Patients transferred from community hospitals who are deemed
stable following the interventional procedure will be transferred
back to that hospital within 24 hours of the procedure and could
be transferred as soon as the procedure is done and acute
vascular access site care has been completed.

PHASE 2
In the second phase, the University interventional cardiology programs will
implement the elements necessary to establish a timely and efficient 24/7
program for primary PCI for patients arriving by ambulance or walking into
their own institutions. The ideal call-to-arrival time of CCL staff of <30 minutes
must be implemented in this phase by the means most achievable in each
individual centre. The possible options that can be implemented include the
following:
An evening shift that would extend to 11 pm or midnight
Ensuring that at least one of the on-call nurses for a particular night
lives within a 30 minute radius of the hospital
Ensuring that all interventional cardiologists and fellows can be in the
hospital within 30 minutes.
Cross-training of CICU nurses to help begin an emergent procedure until
the arrival of the CCL on call nurses and possibly to assist during the
entire procedure

PHASE 3
In the third phase the University of Toronto
interventional cardiology collaboration will
implement a strategy of performing primary PCI for
eligible patients presenting to GTA hospitals or
identified by EMS in the pre-hospital phase.
Implementation timelines
Phase 1 is to be implemented by July 1, 2007
Phase 2 is to be implemented by April 1, 2008

Improve the Quality of Care and
Outcomes of STEMI at Sunnybrook
Health Sciences Centre
Characteristics of Good STEMI hospitals
1.
Commitment to goal
“This is a part of the culture of the organization in that time to
reperfusion needs to be excellent” (VP, Cardiology)
2.
Visible Senior Management
“Holding people accountable. I think that’s the role of administration…”
(Medical Director, ER)
3.
Innovative, Standardized Protocols
“All of us got together and came up with the steps to get a patient from the ED
to the cath lab. We broke it into 8-9 steps. At each step, we allowed a
certain # of minutes, and we lived up to it.” (Cardiologist)
Bradley EH, et al. Circ 2006; 113:1079-85
Characteristics of Good STEMI hospitals
4.
Resilience to challenges with flexibility in refining
protocols
“It’s a continual thing…even though we refine the process…things change…and
we have to refine how we’re doing things…” (Cath Lab Nurse)
5.
Collaborative, interdisciplinary teams
“I feel like when I talk to somebody, they respect my opinion, so if I call the
cardiologist and say this person is having an anterior MI, they believe me.
They don’t try to talk me out of it…” (ER physician)
6.
Data/QI feedback
“It helped the ED staff that the cardiologist would come back from the cath lab
with a picture of the open artery, so the staff felt like --- this is what we’ve
done!” And the cardiologist would say the patient is doing great, you guys
did a great job!” (VP, ER)
Bradley EH, et al. Circ 2006; 113:1079-85

Rationale for a Trial Comparing
Pre-hospital Fibrinolysis vs.
Direct Transport for Primary PCI

Among patients with STEMI diagnosed
by paramedics in the pre-hospital
setting


Insufficient high quality evidence to
recommend pre-hospital bypass and
direct transport to a PCI center for primary
PCI
Lack of clinical trial data comparing prehospital fibrinolysis vs. direct transport
for primary PCI

Potential Prehospital
Interventions
• What we do now?
– 3 lead ECG and drive fast
• Prehospital diagnosis of STEMI
– 12 lead ECG and advance
notification
• Prehospital intervention
– +/- Bypass to PCI site
– Prehospital fibrinolysis
ED
Steering group submitted a pilot
CIHR – RCT preliminary step
Approved
Concerns
Feasible from a prehospital perspective
Feasible from a Toronto perspective
Final submission will require data
Objective
To determine:
Safety and effectiveness
Prehospital bypass to PCI center vs.
ALS intervention – 12 lead, advance ED
notification prehospital fibrinolysis OR
BLS intervention – advance ED notification
Primary Outcome Measure
•
30-day composite of all cause
mortality and reinfarction, and stroke
defined as any new neurological
deficit lasting >24 hours.
• Survival and reinfarction rates
– 6 and 12 months
Study Population

11 geographical regions in Ontario
121,959 km2
population of 7.5M
10 EMS systems
52 receiving hospitals
within 60 minutes of ≥ 1 of 12 PCI
centres.
Where are we?
Pulling together our steering cte
EMS, medical directors each region
Provincial approval – Dec 10-11
PCI centers representatives
Acquiring baseline data estimates from
the population and from CCN
RCT application to CIHR Feb 2008
We need data to judge what we are getting
ourselves into!
Prehospital incidence
Chest pain – guessing
STEMI – even more guessing
Within 60 minutes – speculation
Reperfusion data
CCN data on those that receive PCI
Sketchy on those that received TPA or
nothing at all
