Diagnostics

Initial Assessment

Initial Impression: Suspected Acute ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI)
Justification for F1 Classification:
- High probability of life-threatening condition based on symptoms (crushing chest pain, radiation to left arm, diaphoresis, nausea)
- Time-critical condition requiring immediate medical intervention to prevent irreversible myocardial damage
- Potential for cardiac arrest without rapid treatment

Differential Diagnoses:
1. STEMI (high probability)
2. Unstable Angina (less likely given severity and radiation of pain)
3. Aortic Dissection (less likely given no tearing pain)
4. Pulmonary Embolism (less likely given primary symptom of chest pain, not shortness of breath)

Required Actions:
- Immediate dispatch of ground EMS with ALS capabilities
- Early notification of receiving hospital with PCI capabilities
- Pre-hospital ECG acquisition and transmission
- Oxygen administration and IV access initiation

Final Diagnosis
