of the FCCS program since its inception in 1994, this edition will be available in multiple languages, at hundreds of sites, in over 30 countries, and with a growing volume of online resources As with previous editions, the success of the program is built on the efforts of individuals who have volunteered their time and talents to present the important concepts and principles of fundamental critical care Our volunteers’ energy and compassion has been guided by key members of the SCCM staff: Gervaise Nicklas, MS, RN, Program Development Manager for FCCS; and Ms Katie Brobst, Managing Editor, Books, both of whom diplomatically kept the contributors on task We have expanded the disciplines represented among chapter contributors Major input to this fifth edition came from the FCCS, Fifth Edition Planning Committee In addition, the total list of contributors reflects input from approximately half of the international FCCS Program Committee As in the fourth edition, we have increased the emphasis on case-based education, with scenarios presented throughout the chapters and considerations highlighted in text boxes Online skill station materials, which accompany the text, also feature an interactive and case-based format Our goal is to present our students with problems that mirror clinical reality rather than emphasize the artificial confines of lecture topics The FCCS program continues to be a cornerstone of the Society of Critical Care Medicine’s education mission It is a concrete manifestation of our goal to provide the Right Care, Right Now™ David J Dries, MSE, MD Editor 2010-2012 Chair, FCCS Program Committee confirmed by detecting elevated serum levels of CK-MB or cardiac-specific troponins The delay in elevation of these markers, however, prevents their use to determine reperfusion therapy Cardiacspecific troponins are the optimum cardiac markers for the evaluation of patients with STEMI who have coexistent skeletal muscle injury B General Management Once STEMI is suspected or diagnosed, the immediate concerns are to ensure the patient’s stability and to intervene to limit infarct size by restoring blood flow to the infarct artery as soon as possible (Figure 10-5) Treatment of STEMI in the patient with other critical illness requires careful individualization Absolute and relative contraindications to therapies must be considered and relative risk assessed Choices may be limited by the availability of specialized procedures, the need to transport the patient to another facility, significant comorbidities, bleeding risk, or the unavailability of the oral route for administering medication Figure 10-5 Treatment Algorithm for Myocardial Infarction With ST Elevation Abbreviations: ECG, electrocardiogram; GP, glycoprotein; PCI, percutaneous coronary intervention Early Therapy Early therapy in STEMI is similar to the management of UA and NSTEMI Immediate 12-lead ECG, cardiac markers, and related laboratory tests should be completed Immediate therapy includes the administration of supplemental oxygen in the presence of dyspnea, hypoxemia, heart failure, or shock; the control of pain; and consideration of reperfusion therapy Aspirin should be administered immediately The addition of clopidogrel, prasugrel, or ticagrelor as part of dual antiplatelet therapy decreases the rates of mortality and major vascular events An anticoagulant agent should also be administered Because of its multiple salutary effects on myocardial oxygen demand and supply, nitroglycerin is indicated for the first 48 hours for treatment of persistent ischemia, hypertension, or heart failure, unless systolic blood pressure is 180/110 mm Hg) History of chronic severe hypertension Ischemic stroke >3 months ago or intracerebral pathology Current use of anticoagulants Traumatic or prolonged (>10 min) CPR or major surgery within past weeks Previous use of streptokinase/anistreplase: allergy or prior exposure (>5 days ago) Active peptic ulcer disease Recent internal bleeding (within past 2-4 weeks) Bleeding diathesis (hepatic dysfunction, use of anticoagulants) Noncompressible arterial or central venous puncture Abbreviations: ECG, electrocardiogram; CPR, cardiopulmonary resuscitation Table 10-10: Thrombolytic Agents Used in ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction Table 10-11: Killip-Kimball Hemodynamic Subsets Continuing Therapy Patients who undergo PCI with angioplasty, with or without stent placement, should be treated with aspirin, an adenosine diphosphate inhibitor (clopidogrel, prasugrel, or ticagrelor), and an anticoagulant agent Administration of clopidogrel or an alternative agent should be discussed with the cardiologist because the optimum duration may vary with the type of stent used (bare metal vs drug-eluting) Anticoagulation with heparin is continued Although fondaparinux reduces the bleeding risk in STEMI patients undergoing PCI, the risk of catheter thrombi is increased when fondaparinux is used alone An increased risk of stent thrombosis occurs with use of bivalirudin after PCI After thrombolysis with a plasminogen activator, heparin should be used to maintain vessel patency for at least 48 hours Enoxaparin is preferred over unfractionated heparin following thrombolysis Infusion rates of unfractionated heparin should be adjusted to keep the partial thromboplastin time at 1.5 to times the control value Heparin anticoagulation after use of streptokinase is not necessary; fondaparinux can be considered in these situations Patients with large anterior infarctions who not receive thrombolysis or PCI and patients who have intramural thrombus detected or suspected on echocardiography should receive heparin Aspirin (162-325 mg/day) should be continued Clopidogrel is the antiplatelet agent of choice in patients treated with thrombolytics who undergo delayed invasive reperfusion interventions Intravenous nitroglycerin, if tolerated, is recommended for 48 hours post-MI in patients with hypertension, recurrent ischemia, or heart failure In the absence of recurrent ischemia, heart failure, or arrhythmias, bed rest should not be continued beyond 12 to 24 hours Long-term use of oral β-blockers is helpful in all patients who are at risk for recurrent cardiovascular events and who have no contraindications to their use (Table 10-6) Oral β-blockers in STEMI can be initiated after the patient has stabilized Longer-acting calcium channel blockers may be a useful secondary therapy for recurrent myocardial ischemia but are not appropriate for first-line treatment Immediate-release nifedipine is contraindicated in treatment of an acute MI Diltiazem and verapamil are contraindicated in patients with STEMI and left ventricular dysfunction and heart failure Use of ACE inhibitors decreases the risk of mortality in all patients with STEMI The greatest benefit is seen in patients with left ventricular dysfunction (ejection fraction 100 mm Hg (pulmonary artery occlusion pressure >15 mm Hg, if available) and cardiac index
