Episode description
In this episode of The Erik and Matt Show, Dr. Erik Axene and Matt Ball break down the vital differences between Occlusive Myocardial Infarction (OMI) and STEMI, two critical conditions that can make the difference between life and death in pre-hospital care. While STEMI recognition has long been the standard, new research shows that focusing solely on STEMI could lead to missing up to 25% of heart attack patients. Tune in as Erik and Matt discuss essential EKG patterns and what every EMS provider needs to know to provide the best care possible.
