Occasionally a patient is picked up by paramedics at home and transferred directly to the heart cath lab at St. Boniface Hospital. They will not go to ER first to facilitate a very rapid "primary" PTCA. These patients are then sent from the heart cath lab to CCU at STB or HSC. In this scenario, code 'admit from' home and # diagnosis is angiogram or angioplasty (only exception is a cardiac arrest or cardiogenic shock which would be #1 and the angio would be #2). --[[User:LKolesar|LKolesar]] 19:11, 1 November 2008 (CDT) | Occasionally a patient is picked up by paramedics at home and transferred directly to the heart cath lab at St. Boniface Hospital.
