PCI for OOHCA with NSTEMI post ROSC? An acronym too far? Likely cardiac event Dumas et al. 301pts with no STEMI 58% had acute coronary lesion ECG are not reliable post ROSC what can help guide Sideris et al. 165pts with OOHCA Presenting in VF predicted MI, with an odds ratio of 7.4 for MI Presenting in asystole made it much less likely, with an OR or 0.17 Can we treat an OOHCA NSTEMI like normal NSTEMIs Dumas F.

Predictors of Hospital Mortality
What is limiting the adoption of angiography in ROSC OOHCA patients Outcomes: Perceived poor success rates Increase in individual MACE rate Increase in departmental MACE rate Confusion: Lack of randomized data Clinical justification Coordination of pathway and capacity: Complex pathway Inherent cathlab delays ITU bed blocking/resistance Cardiac ward becoming a brain injury unit
6.03 to 6.11: Out Of Hospital Cardiac Arrest. As out of hospital arrest carries its own very specific high risk features we felt it critical to try to capture some key features of patients presenting in this way for PCI.

Do we need guidelines? Improve the quality of healthcare Provide recommendations for the treatment and care of people by health professionals Used to develop standards to assess the clinical practice of individual health professionals Used in the education and training of health professionals
Sources of Variability Case identification Outcome measurement Data handling Decision to start/end of life care Pre and In-hospital care Getting a bed Getting out bed
Getting a bed Ambulance to nearest ED ED SpR calls Cardiology SpR Cardiology SpR calls ITU SpR ITU SpR calls ITU consultant ITU SpR calls back Cardiology SpR Cardiology SpR calls back ED SpR ED Spr calls local team for transfer Local team calls on-call anesthetic etc
