the patient showing symptoms suggestive o Administer aspirin and establish IV access
of myocardial ischemia, what will your first o Activate the ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) team
actions include (if not completed by EMS o If SPO2 is less than 90%, start oxygen
before arrival)? o Assess airway, breathing, and circulation (ABCs)
o Obtain a 12-lead electrocardiogram o Consider nitroglycerin, morphine and a P2Y inhibitor
(ECG)
o Administer a blood thinner
o Administer aspirin and establish IV access
o Activate the ST-segment elevation
myocardial infarction (STEMI) team
o If SPO2 is less than 90%, start oxygen
o Assess airway, breathing, and circulation
(ABCs)
o Administer epinephrine 1 mg IV
o Consider nitroglycerin, morphine and a
P2Y inhibitor

minutes
o First medical contact-to-balloon inflation
time of 90 minutes
