The need to improve cardiac care is more relevant than ever. In today’s ed, the focus must remain on fast, accurate assessment and disposition of patients. for suspected acs, your ed needs answers at the speed of i-STAT
COMPLEX
Evaluation Poses Diagnostic Challenges
Inclusive of many different complaints that may not be caused by acute myocardial infarction (AMI)
CRITICAL
Rapid Diagnosis of MI is Imperative
Time is muscle; delays can lead to loss of vital heart muscle and function.
solutions
THE i-STAT system: results within minutes, right within the care pathway
CARDIAC TROPONIN I
RESULTS IN 10 MIN
Aids in the diagnosis of AMI*
advantages aligned to your ed priorities
- Accelerating triage and disposition
- Elevating the patient experience
- Optimizing resource utilization
- Standardizing workflows
basic metabolic panel hematocrit & hemoglobin
RESULTS IN ~ 2 MIN
- Obtain rapid results on creatinine and potassium levels
“Troponin coming back quicker means I can initiate admissions to the hospital, get the cardiologist involved for the patients that rule in on that first test. They’re ruling in 10 minutes instead of ruling in an hour.”
Dr. Daniel Firestone, ED Physician

the path to success starts with i-STAT in your ed
i-STAT cTnI IN THE ED
Integrate i-STAT early in the patient-care pathway.
- Lab quality Troponin results at the patient's bedside2
- Accelerate care decisions for time-sensitive patients
Hs-cTn IN THE HOSPITAL
Utilize hs-assays for admitted patients and long-term care.
- Admitted hospital patients: re-baseline in hs, expediency is not critical
- Outpatient cardiology centers: stress in 72 hours, long-term management

example: i-STAT processs vs traditional lab testing with serial troponin testing*
*Medical decision should not be based on a single i-STAT measurement.
the value of poct
“Having the test result come back in real time at point of care allows us to make immediate decisions… If I have a positive troponin at triage, I now have identified a patient as high risk and they’re going to go down the MI pathway.”
Dr. W. Frank Peacock
Professor of Emergency Medicine
