(no fibrinolytic)

19
Q

Reperfusion strategies for STEMI

20
Q

Patients must receive what four things immediately upon arrival to the hospital (for ACS)?

A

M: Morphine
O: Oxygen
N: Nitroglycerin
A: Aspirin

21
Q

What is the initial dose of morphine upon arriving to the hospital?

A

4-8mg IV, followed by 2-8mg q5-15 mins

22
Q

Maintain an O2 saturation > _______% upon arriving to the hospital

23
Q

SL NTG dose upon arriving to the hospital

A

0.3-0.4mg q5min x 3

24
Q

IV NTG dose upon arriving to the hospital

A

10 mcg/min, then titrate by 5mcg/min q5min
(max: 200mcg/min)

25
Q

What formulation of NTG is not recommended for ACS due to a slower onset of action?

A

Transdermal

26
Q

Tolerance to nitrates develops after > _______ hours of continuous use

A

> 24 hours

27
Q

nitrates should not be taken within 24 hours of taking which PDE inhibitors?

A

sildenafil
vardenafil

28
Q

nitrates should not be taken within 48 hours of taking which PDE inhibitor?

29
Q

aspirin dose upon arriving to the hospital

A

162-325mg chewable aspirin (1 dose)
*given to all patients w/o contraindications ASAP

30
Q

What is coronary angiography?

A

A heart catheter that shows which arteries in the heart have blockages

31
Q

Fibrinolytics mechanism of action

A

Convert plasminogen to plasmin, which breaks down fibrin (fibrin holds clot together)

32
Q

Which fibrinolytic is weight-based?

A

Tenecteplase

33
Q

If fibrinolytic therapy is preferred for a STEMI patient, what is the “door-to-needle” time?

A

within 30 mins of hospital arrival

34
Q

If PCI is preferred for a STEMI patient, what is the “door-to-balloon” time?

A

within 90 mins of hospital arrival

35
Q

For NSTEMI/UA patients, what does ischemic-guided reperfusion therapy mean?

A

treatment with medications
no heart-catheterization

36
Q

For NSTEMI/UA patients, what does early invasive reperfusion therapy mean?

A

coronary angiography +/- revascularization
(preferred for high-risk patients)

37
Q

Metoprolol and carvedilol are __________ metabolized

A

Hepatically

38
Q

Metoprolol and atenolol are dosed _______ daily

39
Q

Antiplatelet therapy durations after CABG

A

DAPT - 12 months
SAPT - indefinitely

40

MD: 10 mg

42
Q

A

LD: 180 mg
MD: 90 mg BID

43
Q

Prasugrel is contraindicated in patients with a previous __________

44
Q

Aspirin dose must be < _________ mg when taken with ticagrelor
