    Author: Heardman J.
    Journal: Emerg Nurse; 2014 Mar; 21(10):30-4; quiz 35. PubMed ID: 24597818.
    Abstract:
    Paramedics' abilities to carry out quick, accurate and prioritised assessments of patients complaining of chest pain are paramount to ensure good outcomes and prognoses. They also require sound knowledge of underlying pathophysiology, clinical evidence and protocols. This article aims to increase emergency nurses' awareness of the scope of paramedic practice in the UK by analysing the pre-hospital management of a patient diagnosed with myocardial infarction.
