B51. The guidelines require those administering thrombolysis to:

Thrombolysis for STEMI patients

Primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is the treatment of choice for patients presenting with an acute ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI). However, if it is not possible to transfer the patient to the cardiac catheter laboratory immediately, for whatever reason, then the need for thrombolysis to be given should be considered. The admitting team must ask the primary PCI operator if they are able to achieve the arrival in hospital to the first balloon inflation target of 120 minutes. If not, then thrombolysis will be given on the advice of the primary PCI operator without delay. Support for this may be given by Coronary Care Unit (CCU) staff/Chest Pain Nurses depending on the patient’s location. Transfer the patient with resuscitation equipment to CCU immediately after thrombolysis is administered.
