Abstract
Significant variability exists in patient population and diagnostic capabilities of large academic tertiary, community-based hospital, and free-standing emergency departments (ED). Current high sensitivity cardiac troponin I (hs-cTnI) research has been conducted almost exclusively in hospital-based ED (HBED) settings and the translation of these protocols into the free-standing EDs (FSED) has yet to be explored. This study compared the safety, efficacy, and ED throughput of applying a 0/1-hour, rapid-rule out protocol using hs-cTnI for exclusion of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) in HBEDs and FSEDs.
