1. TIMI score a prognostic tool for patients with unstable angina or NSTEMI
Categorizes patient's risk of death and ischemic events & helps clinicians with
therapeutic decision-making.
A point of one for each of the following:
1) aspirin use in the last seven days
2) ST changes of at least 0.5 mm on EKG
3) Elevated serum cardiac biomarkers
4) Age greater than 65
5) known CAD (coronary stenosis greater than or equal to equal to
50%)
6) At least two angina episodes within the last 24 hours
7) At least three risk factors for CAD such as: HTN, DM, current
cigarette smoker, family hex of premature CAD (CAD in male first-
degree relative or father less than 55, or female first-degree relative or
mother less than 65)

XR in blunt trauma patients are
usually taken in the supine
position initially until
unstable spinal fractures
have been ruled out. Then,
it is important to get a PA
