Objective: ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is a leading cause of mortality in Australia. Paramedics treating adults with STEMI in the out-of-hospital environment can use fentanyl or morphine to manage the patient’s pain, although there is little research comparing the efficacy and safety of these drugs.

When it comes to requesting MICA backup, I personally prefer it if you are even more concise: just tell me what is wrong. “Anterior STEMI” “Severe asthma” “Unconscious head injury.” When it comes to passing clinical details to a hospital, we have a systematic approach to use: IMIST. Learn it, use it.
