CONCOMITANT TREATMENTS ASPIRIN

All patients should receive aspirin 300mg on onset of symptoms, unless contraindicated, followed by 75mg daily indefinitely (avoid higher doses to minimise risk of gastrointestinal side effects).

CLOPIDOGREL Treatment for PPCI patients should receive a loading dose 600mg clopidogrel Treatment for patients with all other ACS and mini GRACE score low risk or above (≥71: see page 8): loading dose clopidogrel 300mg. If already on clopidogrel, give 75mg clopidogrel (NICE Guidelines 2004). Clopidogrel 75mg should continue for 12 months.

OXYGEN All patients to receive supplemental oxygen unless contraindicated. Please refer to local guidelines on oxygen therapy.

NITRATES 2 metered doses of GTN s/l spray to those with pain due to ischaemia or infarction except if hypotensive. Isosorbide dinitrate 0.05% (Isoket 25mg/50ml) 4-20ml/hr or GTN (50mg/50mls) 1-10ml/hr should be initiated if continuing pain or left ventricular failure. Use with caution if blood pressure <100 systolic. Stop if blood pressure <90 systolic.

BETA BLOCKERS Treatment with oral metoprolol 12.5mg-25mg should be considered in all haemodynamically stable patients who present within 12 h of the onset of symptoms of acute MI and who are free of contraindications. Start with metoprolol and change to oral atenolol once daily or bisoprolol once daily once stable. For haemodynamically stable ACS patients without ST elevation, start atenolol 25 mg or bisoprolol 2.5 mg once daily

ACE INHIBITORS The drug of choice is ramipril 2.5mg once daily titrated up to 10 mg. Where hypotension or heart failure is a problem, consider using divided doses (1.25mg twice a day). This is given orally to everyone, starting on day 2 unless contra-indicated. Routine ACE is contra-indicated in pregnancy. Only use under specialist supervision when BP<100mmHg systolic, K+≥5mmols or poor renal function (Creatinine ≥180 µmol/l).

STATINS Start on Day 1 for everyone. The drug of choice is simvastatin 40mg-80mg once daily Caution if alcoholic or liver disease, check baseline liver function tests.

INSULIN Insulin infusion should be started on all patients who have random Blood glucose

10mmols. Aim for blood glucose between 4-8mmols. See protocol on page 23. The insulin infusion should be stopped with great care following the instructions given. Consideration of continuation of s/c insulin therapy after discharge should be decided by the Diabetic Specialist Team in all patients with elevated blood glucose. Please refer to the diabetes team as early as possible.

FONDAPARINUX Give dose 2.5mg once daily s/c for all ACS patients. Use in caution in patients with a high bleeding risk. Consider unfractionated heparin, with dose adjusted to clotting function for patients with creatinine > 265mmols/l (NICE clinical guideline 94, March 2010).

EPLERENONE Consider starting 25mg on Days 3-14 post-MI for patients with heart failure and LVEF≤40%. Avoid if hyperkalaemia or renal impairment (eGFR < 50 mls/min).Change to spironolactone after 12 months if ongoing therapy needed.

Monday-Friday 08:30-17:00hrs

Lister Cardiac suite

Ext 4668 (dedicated phone line)

From QEII 7934668

ECG meets criteria as below:

a) ST elevation 1mm in 2 or more contiguous limb leads

or b) ST elevation 2mm in 2 or more contiguous chest leads

or c) LBBB with cardiac sounding chest pain

or d) True posterior – ST depression V2-V3 and dominant R waves

If the answer is YES then PPCI is indicated. Now assess for absolute contra-indications to PPCI

1 Is the patient unconscious? Y/ N

2 Is the patient actively bleeding e.g. haematemesis, malaena Y/ N

3 Have cardiac arrest resuscitation attempts failed? Y/N

4 Has the patient been resuscitated from a cardiac arrest but the underlying diagnosis is uncertain? Y/ N

If there are no absolute contra-indications for PPCI then go on to assess for relative contra-indications

1 Does the history or ECG suggest pericarditis, e.g. ST elevation in all leads or pain worse on deep inspiration? Y/N

2 Has the patient been involved in an incident causing traumatic bodily injury (not CPR)? Y/N

3 Does the ECG show LBBB or paced rhythm without a clinical picture of AMI? Y/ N

If the answer to any of the above contra-indications is YES then the patient may not be suitable

for PPCI. Ask for expert help for further advice.

In working hours, bleep cardio spr or call Cardiac suite Lister ext 4668

All patients presenting with cardiac sounding chest pain should have a BM measured AS SOON AS POSSIBLE (preferably in the ambulance, if not in A&E or Cath Lab)

IF BM 10 or higher start insulin sliding scale as follows (do NOT wait for the troponin):

50 units human soluble insulin in 49.5ml 0.9% sodium chloride

AND 5% Dextrose with 40mmol KCl at 30ml/hr via a non-reflow Y connector. If there is concern about

the volume of fluid this can be replaced by 10% dextrose with 20mmol KCL at 15ml/hr. Follow instructions on flow chart for the next 24 hours and contact DSN/Diabetes team ASAP Note1. If the patient is known diabetic on Lantus ( Glargine) or Levemir ( Detemir) Continue this background insulin AS WELL as starting insulin infusion Note2. If the patient is a known diabetic and their BM is <10 for 2 hours after admission Continue on their usual diabetes treatment regime EXCEPT

1. Stop Metformin 2. Ensure BM monitoring at least 4 hourly

Note 3. Stopping the Infusion Refer to the diabetes/endo team as soon as practically possible and they can advise on how to take down the sliding scale safely and follow up as appropriate If the infusion is due to end outside of their available times: If the patient is a known diabetic on insulin and is able to eat and drink normally they can be restarted on their usual regime until review by the diabetes team. Prescribe their usual regime and wait until their next usual dose would be due. Ensure that they receive their next due dose with that meal 1 hour BEFORE the IV insulin is switched off If the patient is NOT usually on insulin (whether previously diagnosed with diabetes or not) and is able to eat and drink normally:

1. Calculate the amount of insulin they have received in the previous 24 hours: this is TDD (total daily dose) eg 66 units

2. Divide the TDD into two separate doses and decrease by 10% eg 60 units: Dose A (0800 with breakfast ) = 60% of TDD eg 40 units

Dose B (1800 with evening meal) = 30% of TDD eg 20 units 3. Prescribe Novomix 30 as per your calculation. 4. Give the next dose subcut. with the next available meal and stop insulin /dextrose infusions one hour

LATER Other investigations required:

i) Serum K+ on admission and at 24 hours (iv insulin may lower serum K+ which may require replacement). If sustained arrhythmia K+ should be checked and recorded.

ii) HbA1c iii) Fasting glucose after an overnight fast- a minimum of 12 hours after discontinuation of the

insulin infusion

Venous Thromboembolism (VTE) Risk Assessment for all Adult Medical Patients

ALL adult medical patients must be:

1) Risk assessed and considered for thromboprophylaxis

2) If at risk, checked for contraindications

3) Prescribed appropriate thromboprophylaxis on drug chart

NB Patients outside the given criteria should be assessed on a case-by-case basis

Please tick all appropriate boxes and assign a Risk Category. Then sign, date and file sheet in patient’s Medical Record.

Risk Factors

Age >40 years Acute infectious disease

History of VTE/thrombophilia Pregnancy and the post partum period

Inflammatory bowel disease Hormone therapy eg HRT/COCP

Active cancer or treatment Obesity (BMI≥ 30kg/m2)

Acute exacerbation of heart failure Nephrotic syndrome

Acute myocardial infarction Dehydration

Ischaemic stroke Myeloproliferative disorders

Acute on chronic respiratory disease Paraplegia

Rheumatic disease Prolonged immobility

Contraindications to Enoxaparin 40mg Contraindications to TEDS

Creatinine >150µmol/(eGFR<30ml/min)

– use Enoxaparin 20mg daily

Severe peripheral vascular disease

Active bleeding Severe dermatitis/ulceration of leg

Thrombocytopenia (platelet count <50) Leg oedema

Known bleeding disorder Gross leg deformity

Previous HIT or allergy to Enoxaparin Peripheral neuropathy

On therapeutic anticoagulation Recent skin graft

Risk Category

(1) Patient NOT at risk of VTE

Tick

(2) Patient > 40 years, hospitalised with an acute medical illness or other risk factors

and with NO contraindications to low molecular weight heparin

Recommended Prophylaxis:

Enoxaparin 40mg per day + TED stockings (if no contraindications) + Early mobilisation

Timing: Enoxaparin should be given once daily subcutaneously

Duration: Enoxaparin should be given for at least 6 days with a maximum of 14 days. Where therapy is long term (>14 days) for high risk patients the platelet count should be monitored fortnightly for Heparin Induced Thrombocytopenia (HIT)

Obesity: Use Enoxaparin: 40mg twice daily if body weight > 100kg 60mg twice daily if body weight > 150kg

(3) Patient unable to receive low molecular weight heparin due to contraindications
