What is the time goal for how quickly you should complete a fibrinolytic checklist?

The time goal for completing a fibrinolytic checklist is typically within 10 minutes of a patient with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) arriving at the hospital. This is because fibrinolytic therapy, also known as thrombolytic therapy, is most effective when administered as quickly as possible after the onset of symptoms to help dissolve the blood clot causing the blockage in the coronary artery.

The checklist helps healthcare providers quickly assess eligibility for fibrinolytic therapy, confirm the diagnosis of STEMI, ensure there are no contraindications to treatment, and initiate therapy promptly. Prompt completion of the fibrinolytic checklist is crucial to ensuring timely administration of fibrinolytic therapy and improving outcomes for patients with STEMI.
