Australasian College of Paramedicine International Conference (ACPIC24)
ACPIC 2024 delivered a wide range of clinical and research sessions from experts and leaders in paramedicine. Hosted in Sydney (September 2024) the program was designed to inspire, educate and broaden horizons.
Conference theme: Paramedicine's evolution – Embracing the new era
Derivation of zero-hour thresholds to stratify patients at low risk for acute myocardial infarction using a point-of-care high-sensitivity troponin assay
This presentation focuses on a point-of-care high-sensitivity troponin assay. Data are presented on the safety and accuracy of a single troponin test for ruling out acute myocardial infarction. Point-of-care troponin testing holds significant potential in prehospital or rural/remote settings, potentially enabling the rule out of acute myocardial infarction before hospital admission.
