Managing Acute Myocardial Infarction (AMI) patients is a concept that many of us learn early on in our careers. Because of that, we can potentially underestimate the importance of our interventions.
In this podcast episode, we are joined by Dr. Gottula and Dr. Skrobut to discuss timely management of AMI’s, when coronary intervention (PCI) is indicated, and what medications we should consider to achieve maximal medical management of a patient suffering an AMI in 2021.
Includes:
- Aspirin
- Anticoagulant
- P2Y12 inhibitor
- Analgesia
- Statin
- Normoxia
- Normokalemia
- Anticipate and Prepare
