• Hello, I'm a junior EMT in the US.
    Most states in the US have what's called code STEMI. A code STEMI is called when a patient has a ST-elevation myocardial infarction, a type of heart attack.
    In this case the patient will go to the nearest hospital with a 24/7 cath lab, where Percutaneous Coronary Intervention will be preformed. blah blah blah...


    Maybe an option for a cath lab should be added to the available wings, and patients with cardiac issues could be sent there


    Here's some more info on a Code STEMI
