MP39: Emergency department triage redesign: can elements designed to improve department flow reduce door-to-ECG times in self-presenting ED patients suspected of myocardial infarction?

Introduction: ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI) represents irreversible necrosis of myocardial tissue. Prompt time-to-reperfusion in these patients is paramount in reducing morbidity and mortality. This concept, time-to-reperfusion, is the principle focus for improving STEMI care. Prioritizing diagnosis in patients with high-risk cardiac features through rapid electrocardiogram (ECG) is essential, with gold standard …
