Background: Cath lab activation based on ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) criteria is founded on aging data and requires evolution. In the “Occlusive Myocardial Infarction (OMI) Manifesto,” emergency physicians Dr. Steve Smith, Dr. Pendell Meyers, and Dr. Scott Weingart introduced a ...
Background: Not all occlusion myocardial infarctions (OMIs) present with classic ST-segment elevation (We have covered this on REBEL EM Before HERE, HERE, and HERE). OMIs of the “posterior” and “lateral” walls are the most commonly missed, with >50% of left ...
In this 14-minute presentation from Rebellion in EM 2021, Dr. Tarlan Hedayati, MD discusses the shift from the paradigm of STEMI/NSTEMI to OMI/NOMI.
Background: Occlusion myocardial infarction (OMI) is defined as acute coronary occlusion or near occlusion with insufficient collateral circulation leading to downstream myocardial infarction. Currently, we use STEMI ECG criteria to identify acute coronary OMI in the clinical setting. The diagnosis ...
Background: What if we lived in a world where we didn’t call “STEMI alerts”, but instead paged out “OMI alerts”? In the Reperfusion Era of the late 20th century, many large trials showed the benefits of emergent reperfusion therapy, with even ...
