ST Elevation

Sinus Rhythm with ST Elevation (STEMI) ST elevations signifies an occlusion of a coronary artery most commonly caused by a thrombus or an embolus. STEMI can be described as mild, moderate, or severe deviations from the baseline or isolectric line. The higher the elevation, the more symptoms are present, greater injury and the greater the risk for cardiac arrest. Various underlying rhythms can occur. INTERVENTIONS: based on AHA 2011 Guidelines Oxygen - 4 L via NC titrate to effect to maintin SaO2 94% or greater Aspirin - 160-325 mg chewable or suppository Nitroglycerin -0.3-0.4 mg spray/sublingual every 3-5 mins. x3 Morphine Sulphate - 2-4 mg IV titrate to effect; may be repeated 2-8 mg every 5-15 minute intervals Follow AHA STEMI guidelines and assess for contraindications before medication administration.
