Prehospital Activation of the Catheterization Laboratory Among Patients With Suspected ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction Outside of a Hospital　- Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

ABSTRACT: Background: In the management of patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), system delays for reperfusion therapy are still a matter of concern. We investigated the impact of prehospital activation of the catheterization laboratory in the management of STEMI patients. Methods and Results: This is a systematic review of observational studies. A search was conducted of the PubMed database from inception to July 2020 to identify articles for inclusion in the study. The critical outcomes were short- and long-term mortality. The important outcome was door-to-balloon time. The GRADE approach was used to assess the certainty of the evidence.
