A Triage Algorithm for the Rapid Clinical Assessment and Management of Emergency Department Patients Presenting With Chest Pain

Yi-Mei Chng, Joshua M. Kosowsky

Open publisher page 4 citations

Abstract

This article describes an algorithm for the rapid clinical assessment and evidence-based managemant of patients presenting to the Emergency Department (ED) with chest pain. While broadly applicable, it is specifically designed for use in an ED-based chest pain unit, and incorporates time-sensitive pathways for patients with acute coronary syndromes as well as observation protocols for patients in which the etiology of chest pain is less clear.
