In an effort to clarify any confusion on the subject of "Alerts":

For all of Seminole County and its agencies; Maitland and Winter Park, an “Alert” notification by radio means that the crew has a patient with a condition that needs immediate attention. It is the equivalent of “Could you meet us at the door?”

Currently, we have the following alerts:
{| class="wikitable"
|-
| Trauma Alert|| Stroke Alert
|-
| Pediatric Trauma Alert|| Sepsis Alert
|-
| STEMI Alert|| Cardiac Alert
|}

Cardiac Alert is NOT a STEMI. It is used for patients who obviously or are highly likely to have a
cardiac origin of their profound signs and symptoms.

There are many examples, including, but not limited to:
# A pt with ACS with presumed new EKG changes that are NOT a STEMI. The crew should describe those changes over the radio.
# A pt with profound signs and symptoms of ACS (crushing chest pain, severe SOB, pale, diaphoretic) and obvious or highly likely to have instability.
# ACS with a new arrhythmia
# A pt with an arrhythmia and instability.
# Etc.

I hope this clarifies any confusion. We have heard that many ER staff are not certain about our “Alert” process. We would ask that you discuss this with them.
