RE: acute coronary syndrome

["Doerr, Russell" <doerrr@rcbhsc.wvu.edu>]

Our flight guidelines follow current ACLS guidelines for ACS and AMI.  WE jsut look at what has been done upon our arrival and go from there.  We pretty much use Lopressor 5mg Q 5 min X 3 doses as long as the MI patient has a rate and pressure to tolerate it.  Check with the AHA for guidelines.
