Overview
Door-to-balloon is a time measurement in emergency cardiac care (ECC), specifically in the treatment of ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (or STEMI). The interval starts with the patient's arrival in the emergency department, and ends when a catheter guidewire crosses the culprit lesion in the cardiac cath lab. Because of the adage that "time is muscle", meaning that delays in treating a myocardial infarction increase the likelihood and amount of cardiac muscle damage due to localised hypoxia,[1][2][3][4] ACC/AHA guidelines recommend a door-to-balloon interval of no more than 90 minutes.[5] Currently fewer than half of STEMI patients receive reperfusion with primary percutaneous coronary intervention within the guideline-recommended timeframe.[6][7] It has become a core quality measure for the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO).[8][9][10]
Improving door-to-balloon times
Door to Balloon (D2B) Initiative
The benefit of prompt, expertly performed primary percutaneous coronary intervention over thrombolytic therapy for acute ST elevation myocardial infarction is now well established.[11] Few hospitals can provide PCI within the 90 minute interval,[12] which prompted the American College of Cardiology (ACC) to launch a national Door to Balloon (D2B) Initiative in November of 2006. The D2B Alliance seeks to "take the extraordinary performance of a few hospitals and make it the ordinary performance of every hospital."[13] Over 800 hospitals have joined the D2B Alliance as of March 16, 2007.[14]
The D2B Alliance advocates six key evidence-based strategies and one optional strategy to help reduce door-to-balloon times:[13][15]
- ED physician activates the cath lab
- Single-call activation system activates the cath lab
- Cath lab team is available within 20-30 minutes
- Prompt data feedback
- Senior management commitment
- Team based approach
- (Optional) Prehospital 12 lead ECG activates the cath lab
Practical strategies at your site to reduce Door-to-Balloon times
The following strategies can be utilized to reduce door to balloon times:
- Have emergency medical service (EMS) personnel activate the cardiac catheterization laboratory directly
- Require that nurses, technicians and physicians remain within 30 minutes of the hospital while on call
- Require that nurses, technicians and physicians sleep in the hospital while on call
- Optimize door to EKG and EKG to decision times
- Activate the cardiac catheterization laboratory team with a single phone call using batch paging
- Have a "sterile table" prepared in the cardiac catheterization laboratory so that no time is wasted gathering equipment and supplies.
- Ask the CCU nurse and or ER nurse to assist the cath lab nurse in transporting and readying the patient for cardiac catheterization.
- Do not perform right heart catheterization or left heart catheterization before the intervention
- Only obtain venous access if the patient is hemodynamically unstable or if there is likely going to be the need to a temporary pacemaker
- Perform angiography of the culprit lesion first. There is a lack of consensus on this point. Some operators prefer to perform angiography of the non-culprit lesion first to assess the extent of disease. The Editor-In-Chief, CM Gibson prefers to assess the non-culprit lesion first. The non-culprit lesion may in fact turn out to be the culprit lesion.
Mission: Lifeline
On May 30, 2007, the American Heart Association launched 'Mission: Lifeline', a "community-based initiative aimed at quickly activating the appropriate chain of events critical to opening a blocked artery to the heart that is causing a heart attack."[16] It is seen as complementary to the ACC's D2B Initiative.[17] The program will concentrate on patient education to make the public more aware of the signs of a heart attack and the importance of calling 9-1-1 for emergency medical services (EMS) for transport to the hospital.[16] In addition, the program will attempt to improve the diagnosis of STEMI patients by EMS personnel.[16] According to Alice Jacobs, MD, who led the work group that addressed STEMI systems,[18] when patients arrive at non-PCI hospitals they will stay on the EMS stretcher with paramedics in attendance while a determination is made as to whether or not the patient will be transferred.[18] For walk-in STEMI patients at non-PCI hospitals, EMS calls to transfer the patient to a PCI hospital should be handled with the same urgency as a 9-1-1 call.[18]
EMS-to-balloon (E2B)
Although incorporating a prehospital 12 lead ECG into critical pathways for STEMI patients is listed as an optional strategy by the D2B Alliance, the fastest median door-to-balloon times have been achieved by hospitals with paramedics who perform 12 lead ECGs in the field.[19] EMS can play a key role in reducing the first-medical-contact-to-balloon time, sometimes referred to as EMS-to-balloon (E2B) time,[20] by performing a 12 lead ECG in the field and using this information to triage the patient to the most appropriate medical facility.[21][22][23]
Depending on how the prehospital 12 lead ECG program is structured, the 12 lead ECG can be transmitted to the receiving hospital for physician interpretation, interpreted on-site by appropriately trained paramedics, or interpreted on-site by paramedics with the help of computerized interpretive algorithms.[24] Some EMS systems utilize a combination of all three methods.[20] Prior notification of an in-bound STEMI patient enables time saving decisions to be made prior to the patient's arrival. This may include a "cardiac alert" or "STEMI alert" that calls in off duty personnel in areas where the cardiac cath lab is not staffed 24 hours a day.[20] The 30-30-30 rule takes the goal of achieving a 90 minute door-to-balloon time and divides it into three equal time segments. Each STEMI care provider (EMS, the emergency department, and the cardiac cath lab) has 30 minutes to complete its assigned tasks and seamlessly "hand off" the STEMI patient to the next provider.[20] In some locations, the emergency department may be bypassed altogether.[25]
Common themes in hospitals achieving rapid door-to-balloon times
Bradley et al. (Circulation 2006) performed a qualitative analysis of 11 hospitals in the National Registry of Myocardial Infarction that had median door-to-ballon times = or < 90 minutes. They identified 8 themes that were present in all 11 hospitals:[7]
- An explicit goal of reducing door-to-balloon times
- Visible support of senior management
- Innovative, standardized protocols
- Flexibility in implementing standardized protocols
- Uncompromising individual clinical leaders
- Collaborative interdisciplinary teams
- Data feedback to monitor progress and identify problems or successes
- Organizational culture that fostered persistence despite challenges and setbacks
Criteria for an ideal primary PCI center
Granger et al. (Circulation 2007) identified the following criteria of an ideal primary PCI center.[24]
Institutional resources
- Primary PCI is the routine treatment for eligible STEMI patients 24 hours a day, 7 days a week
- Primary PCI is performed as soon as possible
- Institution is capable of providing supportive care to STEMI patients and handling complications
- Written commitment by hospital administration to support the program
- Identifies physician director for PCI program
- Creates multidisciplinary group that includes input from all relevant stakeholders, including cardiology, emergency medicine, nursing, and EMS
- Institution designs and implements a continuing education program
- For institution without on-site surgical backup, there is a written agreement with tertiary institution and EMS to provide for rapid transfer of STEMI patients when needed
Physician resources
- Interventional cardiologists meet ACC/AHA criteria for competence
- Interventional cardiologists participate in, and are responsive to formal on-call schedule
Program requirements
- Minimum of 36 primary PCI procedures and 400 total PCI procedures annually
- Program is described in a "manual of operations" that is compliant with ACC/AHA guidelines
- Mechanisms for monitoring program performance and ongoing quality improvement activities
Other features of ideal system
- Robust data collection and feedback including door-to-balloon time, first door-to-balloon time (for transferred patients), and the proportion of eligible patients receiving some form of reperfusion therapy
- Earliest possible activation of the cardiac cath lab, based on prehospital ECG whenever possible, and direct referral to PCI-hospital based on field diagnosis of STEMI
- Standardized ED protocols for STEMI management
- Single phone call activation of cath lab that does not depend on cardiologist interpretation of ECG
Gaps and barriers to timely access to primary PCI
Granger et al. (Circulation 2007) identified the following barriers to timely access to primary PCI.[24]
- Busy PCI hospitals may have to divert patients
- Significant delays in ED diagnosis of STEMI may occur, particularly when patient does not arrive by EMS
- Manpower and financial considerations may prevent smaller PCI programs from providing primary PCI for STEMI 24 hours a day
- Reimbursement for optimal coordination of STEMI patients needs to be realigned to reflect performance
- In most PCI centers, cath lab staff is off-site during off hours, requiring a mandate that staff report with 20-30 minutes of cath lab activation
