EMAS
No Yes
Out of hospital VF/VT arrests who are successfully defibrillated / conscious / having a STEMI should be transferred to TCC NCH for PPCI.
Out of hospital cardiac arrests requiring intubation and ventilation should be transferred to the nearest ED. They will stabilise the patient and liaise with TCC NCH for transfer for PPCI if appropriate.
ONLY STEMI patients will be accepted directly to TCC NCH.
All other patients should be admitted to the nearest ED.
Keep all STEMI patients connected to the defibrillator until transfer onto the hospitals cardiac monitor
Give all EMAS times to receiving staff to enable completion of call to balloon and door to balloon times

OPERATIONAL GUIDELINES
Primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI)
Background According to the National Infarct Angioplasty Project 2008 ‘Primary angioplasty or primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI), as it is known within the NHS, has been proven to lead to better longer-term outcomes for patients suffering a heart attack.’ PPCI is associated with fewer complications than with the usual treatment (thrombolysis), a lower recurrence of heart attack, low incidence of stroke and a lower mortality rate. It also provides patients with a higher level of satisfaction compared to conventional treatments It has been widely demonstrated that the shorter the treatment times for patients the better the outcome. The call to balloon time for PPCI should be no longer than 120 minutes with the door to balloon times set at 90 minutes or under Nottingham University Hospital City Campus (NUH) was given Heart Attack Treatment Centre status at the end of 2009. It is recognised that centres such as NUH doing high numbers of PPCI procedures have better patient outcomes. It is also recognised that, for PPCI to work well, there needs to be a highly experienced cardiac catheter lab multi-disciplinary team who show good quality team working across professional boundaries PPCI was commenced on a 09.00 to 1700 hours basis from March 2008, and was changed to a 24 hour service from October 2010 for Nottingham City patients. From March 2011 all patients were accepted from East Midlands Ambulance Service (EMAS) and outlying hospitals within a 60 minute radius of NUH Aims To ensure that the service provides a smooth and seamless patient pathway and to minimize delays in treatment, which may result in worse clinical outcomes for the patient. Government targets require a call to balloon time within 120 minutes and a door to balloon time within 90 minutes
Nottingham University Hospitals PPCI Guidelines July 2019 10
Current Situation Establishment Consultant Cardiologist and cardiology registrars provide medical cover within the catheter lab. External interventional cardiologists can provide medical cover, dependent upon NUH approval The radiography department and the technical cardiology department will provide staff members to cover their roles within the catheter lab. CSSU/catheter lab staff provide nursing staff. Some nursing staff have received training to provide a radiography service when required A senior nurse from ACU will triage the referral call and activate the PPCI pathway. Staffing numbers It is agreed that a minimum of 7 persons be available to take part in each of the staff disciplines. All staff groups will be responsible for ensuring that the rotas are covered and that the rotas are done and uploaded to the shared drive area
Roles and responsibilities Prior to PPCI The night before all the labs should be fully stocked. Technicians to set up (or leave at the ready) a transducer, fluid and ECG stickers. Room to be set up as ready as possible to receive patient straight into Contacting the catheter lab team Mon – Fri 0800-1800 ACU staff will phone PPCI scheduler on 51854 and inform staff of the imminent arrival of a PPCI patient with an expected time of arrival. This message will be relayed to the Cardiac Catheter lab staff who will then decide which lab will become available first. This is always a joint decision between all staff groups within both cardiac catheter labs Out of hours (Mon – Fri 18.00-0800, Sat, Sun and bank holidays): The team of Consultant, Registrar, Cardiac Physiologist, Radiographer and Nurse are contacted via a bleep system as outlined in appendix 1. A list of the staff rotas can be found on the PPCI shared drive area (see below) and also in the PPCI guidelines folders which are in Cath labs 1 and 2, and on the Acute Cardiac Unit Monday to Thursday, at present, a nurse is resident on site from 19:00- 07:30hrs.
Nottingham University Hospitals PPCI Guidelines July 2019 11
On the patients arrival to hospital Preparation of the Cardiac catheter lab The team will leave the labs set up as far as possible before leaving. The lab nurse will collect the relevant keys (either stored on CSSU Mon-Sat lunch or ACU weekends and bank holidays). They will get the required drugs and equipment out. The team will switch on the X-ray kit and hemodynamic kit. Where possible the patient’s demographics will be entered onto TOMCAT The team along with the ACU nurse will start the procedure when all team members have arrived Role of ACU/CSSU nurse The Senior nurse from ACU will triage the call, inform the catheter lab team of the imminent arrival of the PPCI patient, and meet the ambulance upon its arrival. They will then co-ordinate the preparation of the patient pre procedure. During the procedure they should assist the lab staff as much as possible and keep relatives informed of the patients’ progress Post procedure Most PPCI patients will be discharged after 48 hours post PPCI All PPCI patients should be referred to the cardiac rehabilitation team. If the patient is out of area the NUH cardiac rehabilitation team will refer to the relevant hospital cardiac rehabilitation team Follow up in out-patients will be either at the ACS clinic or at the interventional consultant’s out-patient clinic Bed availability ACU and the bed management team will ensure that beds are available for emergency admissions. Should there be no beds within cardiology the hospital bed management team should be informed. Should there be no help form the hospital bed management team then silver in command should be informed If non-cardiac patient All cardiology admissions should be taken into cardiology beds. If the patient is deemed to be not appropriate for cardiology by the registrar or consultant cardiologist they can be sent to the patients’ nearest ED unit and the ED staff informed of the admission as per NUH transfer (repatriation) of patients to the local hospital policy (2008)
Nottingham University Hospitals PPCI Guidelines July 2019 12
Repatriation policy Any patients who will be staying longer than 3 days may be returned to their nearest hospital as per NUH transfer (repatriation) of patients to the local hospital policy (2008) Multiple patients If several patients arrive needing PPCI then the consultant will make the decision about order of cases and whether thrombolysis should be considered. This will be on an individual basis
Patient Pathways EMAS and patient pathway EMAS will phone directly through to Acute Coronary Unit (ACU) as per patient pathway above (page 7) Referral via other routes All PPCI patients should be phoned through to ACU from other referring centres as per patient pathways above (pages 3-6)
Anaesthetic support
Anaesthetics support is available for patients whose airway is compromised. Please see pathway above (page 8)
Audit
All primary angioplasty procedures will be audited to identify call to balloon and door to balloon times where data is readily available. All reasonable means will be used to establish missing data. This data will form the basis of the MINAP audit database. Monthly audit figures are produced for directorate and board level. PPCI data will be available for discussion at cardiology audit meetings
Avoidable delays to patient treatment will be investigated and acted upon by the cardiac outreach nurses in the first instance, and escalated to directorate lead if necessary
Nottingham University Hospitals PPCI Guidelines July 2019 13
Miscellaneous
Staff sickness Please cover the shift yourself by contacting your colleagues one by one. Their phone numbers are available through switch board. If you are unable to cover please let your manager know Named consultant Patients are to be cared for under the consultant who performed the procedure in most cases unless the patient is already known to a different interventional cardiology consultant Radiology regulations All IRMER regulations and local radiation rules will be adhered to Intra-aortic balloon pumps Intra-Aortic Balloon Pump (IABP) – Patients requiring IABP insertion usually require the procedure urgently. All catheter lab nursing staff have had basic training in the IABP sensation equipment. This will enable them to set up the IABP usually without the assistance of the perfusion team. If the catheter lab team are not confident in setting up the IABP themselves, the perfusionist on call can be contacted via switch board
Confidentiality
All confidentiality of data will be adhered to as per trust protocol - All parties will endeavour to maintain appropriate confidentiality regarding information that is proprietary to each of the Partners within the context of shared working
Info on shared drive All pathways and rotas can be found on the shared drive area.This can be accessed via the Trent Cardiac Centre on the P: drive in cardiology folder Mobile Phone A mobile phone is available for use whilst waiting for the patient. It is kept on ACU. See NUH Issue, Use and Security Of Trust Mobile Phones Provided To Staff Procedure policy (2008)
