he 2010 AHA Guidelines for CPR and ECC for the evaluation and management of acute coronary syndromes (ACS) are intended to define the scope of training for healthcare providers who treat patients with suspected or definite ACS within the first hours after onset of symptoms. These guidelines summarize key out-of-hospital, emergency department (ED), and related initialcritical-care topics that are relevant to diagnosis and initial stabilization and are not intended to guide treatment beyond the ED. Emergency providers should use these contents to supplement other recommendations from the ACC/AHA Guidelines, which are used throughout the United States and Canada.1–3 As with any guidelines, these general recommendations must be considered within the context oflocal resources and their application to individual patients by knowledgeable healthcare providers. The healthcare providers managing the individual patients are best suited to determine the most appropriate treatment strategy. The primary goals of therapy for patients with ACS are to

infarction (NSTEMI). The diagnosis and treatment of AMI, however, will often differ for patients withSTEMI versus NSTEMI. Please note carefully which AMI type is being discussed.

Prehospital Management
Patient and Healthcare Provider Recognition of ACS (Figure 1, Box 1)
Prompt diagnosis and treatment offers the greatest potential benefit for myocardial salvage in the first hours of STEMI; and early, focused management of unstable angina and NSTEMI reduces adverse events and improves outcome.4Thus, it is imperative that healthcare providers recognize patients with potential ACS in order to initiate the evaluation, appropriate triage, and management as expeditiously as possible; in the case of STEMI, this recognition also allows for prompt notification of the receiving hospital and preparation for emergent reperfusion therapy. Potential delays to therapy occur during 3 intervals: fromonset of symptoms to patient recognition, during prehospital transport, and during emergency department (ED) evaluation. Patient-based delay in recognition of ACS and activation of the emergency medical services (EMS) system often constitutes the longest period of delay to treatment.5 With respect to the prehospital recognition of ACS, numerous issues have been identified as independent factors...
