Item none Cost APPLICA0 770N -PAGE 4 ATTACHMENT A Studies have concluded that paramedics trained in early ecognition of acute myocadial infarction and 12 Lead EKG interpretation can significantly reduce the delay for emergency department administration of thrombolytic drug therepy. In the treatment of patients with acute myocardial infarction, the use of early thrombolytic therepy has been shown to significantly reduce myocardial damage. After approximately six hours of sustained ischemia, myocardial necrosis is almost complete. It is essential for prompt recognition and treatment of myocardial infarction. Prompt recognition and treatment are also imperative in order to limit the infarct size. Pre -hospital identification of potential candidates can save thirty (30) to fifty (50) minutes from the delays associated with registration, EKG interpretation, and drug administration in the hospital setting. Studies have documented a 22% reduction in the mean time interval from hospital arrival to the initiation of thrombolytic therapy for A.M.I. This is where 12 lead EKGs were aquired by Paramedics in the field and sent by phone to a designated hospital. These monitors will record, diagnose, interpret, and print the patients 12 lead in traditional hospital format. This machine also has the capability to transmit this data to an emergency department via phone line or cellular system. This devise will effectively aide in decreasing treatment time "thrombolytic therapy" f the acute MI and reduce application time due to its automatic sign features and ease of use. 11
