Start at 10 μg/min and titrate to pain relief and hemodynamic tolerability.
Consider for persistent anginal pain after oral nitrate therapy, or if ACS is accompanied by hypertension or pulmonary edema.20–22 Avoid use in suspected RV infarction, SBP <90 mm Hg or a change in SBP >30 mm Hg below baseline. Tachyphylaxis may occur after approximately 24 h.
Morphine
IV
2-4 mg; may repeat if needed every 5-15 min. Doses up to 10 mg may be considered.
Use for relief of pain that is resistant to other maximally tolerated anti-ischemic medications. May delay the effects of oral P2Y12 therapy.7,9–12 Monitor closely for adverse effects.
Fentanyl
IV
25-50 μg; may repeat if needed. Doses up to 100 μg may be considered.
Use for relief of pain that is resistant to other maximally tolerated anti-ischemic medications. May delay the effects of oral P2Y12 therapy.8 Monitor closely for adverse effects.
Patients presenting with known or suspected ACS often experience chest pain or other uncomfortable symptoms. Rapid and effective pain relief remains an important treatment goal to prevent sympathetic activation and adverse clinical sequelae (Table 6). Analgesic therapies may provide symptomatic relief, but they have not been shown to improve clinical outcomes in patients with ACS.1,2Nitrates and opiate medications remain effective treatment options for management of pain in ACS but should be thoughtfully utilized to prevent potential harm.3–6 In particular, rapid coronary revascularization should be pursued for patients with ongoing ischemic symptoms that are not relieved with nitrates, and opiates should not be used solely to mask these symptoms. Concerns have also been raised that the use of opiates may delay gastric and intestinal absorption of orally administered P2Y12 inhibitors, thereby delaying their pharmacodynamic effects in patients undergoing PCI.7–10 However, the clinical relevance of these pharmacodynamic findings remains disputed.11–14 Use of nonaspirin nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs should be avoided for management of suspected or known ischemia pain whenever possible.15–17 Use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs is associated with increased risk of MACE in patients with and without prior cardiac disease, with no documented benefit to support routine use in patients with ACS.15–19
Aspirin has long been considered an integral part of antiplatelet therapy to prevent recurrent atherothrombotic events among patients with ACS.1–3,6 Aspirin reduces the incidence of vascular death after AMI,3 and in secondary prevention trials (that include patients after MI), it reduces the occurrence of vascular and coronary events, including MI and stroke.2 Although aspirin use after ACS was traditionally considered lifelong, a strategy of aspirin discontinuation, rather than P2Y12 inhibitor discontinuation, may now be considered in the maintenance phase after 1 to 3 months in selected patients to reduce risk of bleeding (Section 11.1, “DAPT Strategies in the First 12 Months Postdischarge”).
Aspirin discontinuation after 1 to 4 weeks after PCI is also appropriate for patients on a full-dose anticoagulant in combination with continued use of a P2Y12 inhibitor (Section 11.1.1, “Antiplatelet Therapy in Patients on Anticoagulation Postdischarge”).
For patients in whom a history of aspirin hypersensitivity is reported, aspirin desensitization is preferred whenever possible to allow for initial use of dual antiplatelet therapy.7–9 The use of a P2Y12 inhibitor is recommended in all patients with ACS regardless of whether they have a history of aspirin hypersensitivity, but should be administered with a loading dose as early as possible for those patients unable to take aspirin at presentation.

Agent
Setting
Dosing Considerations
Aspirin
NSTE-ACS or STEMI
Loading dose 162-325 mg orally. Aspirin (nonenteric coated) should be chewed, when possible, to achieve faster onset of antiplatelet action. Loading dose should be administered for patients already on aspirin therapy. Maintenance dose 75-100 mg orally daily (nonenteric coated)
Loading dose 300 mg orally if age ≤75 y; Initial dose 75 mg orally if age >75 y Maintenance 75 mg orally daily
Prasugrel
NSTE-ACS or STEMI without fibrinolytic, and undergoing PCI
Loading dose 60 mg orally Maintenance dose 10 mg orally daily if body weight ≥60 kg and age <75 y Maintenance dose 5 mg orally daily if body weight <60 kg or age ≥75 y (use caution)
1. Emergency non enhanced CT imaging of the brain is recommended before any
specific treatment for acute stroke.
2. Eligible patients should receive Alteplase intravenous r-tPA even if endovascular treatments are being
considered.
3. Noninvasive intracranial vascular imaging should be obtained as quickly as possible after IV r-tPA.
4. Patients should receive endovascular therapy with a stent retriever if they meet all the criteria.
5. To ensure benefit, reperfusion to TICI grade 2b/3 should be achieved as early as possible and
within 6 hours of stroke onset.

Basic Management Plan for Care Under Fire/Threat
-共有七點建議. 僅節錄第六點(第六點下又有三項建議)
-第六點. 在戰術情況許可時. 停止危及生命的外出血
a. 由傷員自行止血
b. 使用 CoTCCC建議的肢體止血帶. 商用止血帶較能符合人體解剖構造
c. 由制服外. 將受傷部位近心端打上止血帶. 若無法確認出血部位. 盡量靠軀幹方向打止血帶. 越接近越好(越高越高).並將傷員轉移到遮蔽處
6. Stop life-threatening external hemorrhage if tactically feasible:
a. Direct casualty to control hemorrhage by self-aid if able.
b. Use a CoTCCC-recommended limb tourniquet for hemorrhage that is anatomically amenable to tourniquet use.
c. Apply the limb tourniquet over the uniform clearly proximal to the bleeding site(s). If the site of the life-threatening bleeding is not readily apparent, place the tourniquet “high and tight” (as proximal as possible) on the injured limb and move the casualty to cover.
Basic Management Plan for Tactical Field Care -之下有20點. 節錄第3點. 第6點.
1. Establish a security perimeter in accordance with unit tactical standard operating
a. Assess for unrecognized hemorrhage and control all sources of bleeding. If not already done, use a CoTCCC-recommended limb tourniquet to control lifethreatening external hemorrhage that is anatomically amenable to tourniquet use or for any traumatic amputation. Apply directly to the skin 2-3 inches above the bleeing site. If bleeding is not controlled with the first tourniquet, apply a second tourniquet side-by-side with the first.
For compressible (external) hemorrhage not amenable to limb tourniquet use or as an adjunct to tourniquet removal, use Combat Gauze as the CoTCCC hemostatic dressing of choice.
Hemostatic dressings should be applied with at least 3 minutes of direct
pressure (optional for XStat). Each dressing works differently, so if one fails
to control bleeding, it may be removed and a fresh dressing of the same type
or a different type applied. (Note: XStat is not to be removed in the field, but
additional XStat, other hemostatic adjuncts, or trauma dressings may be
applied over it.)
If the bleeding site is amenable to use of a junctional tourniquet, immediately
apply a junctional tourniquet. Do not delay in the application of the junctional
tourniquet once it is ready for use. Apply hemostatic dressings with direct
pressure if a junctional tourniquet is not available or while the junctional
tourniquet is being readied for use. Massive hemorrhage c.
For external hemorrhage of the head and neck where the wound edges can be easily
re-approximated, the iTClamp may be used as a primary option for hemorrhage
control. Wounds should be packed with a hemostatic dressing or XStat, if
appropriate, prior to iTClamp application.
1. The iTClamp does not require additional direct pressure, either when used
alone or in combination with other hemostatic adjuncts.
2. If the iTClamp is applied to the neck, perform frequent airway monitoring
and evaluate for an expanding hematoma that may compromise the airway Consider placing a definitive airway if there is evidence of an expanding
hematoma.
3. DO NOT APPLY on or near the eye or eyelid (within 1cm of the orbit)
Perform initial assessment for hemorrhagic shock (altered mental status in the
absence of brain injury and/or weak or absent radial pulse) and consider immediate
initiation of shock resuscitation efforts.

b. Assess for hemorrhagic shock (altered mental status in the absence of brain injury
and/or weak or absent radial pulse).
A pelvic binder should be applied for cases of suspected pelvic fracture:
1. Severe blunt force or blast injury with one or more of the following
indications:
Pelvic pain
Any major lower limb amputation or near amputation
Physical exam findings suggestive of a pelvic fracture
Unconsciousness
Shock
2. Reassess prior tourniquet application. Expose the wound and determine if a
tourniquet is needed. If it is needed, reposition any limb tourniquet placed
over the uniform by applying a second one directly to the skin 2-3 inches
above the bleeding site, then loosening the first tourniquet. Ensure that
bleeding is stopped. If there is no traumatic amputation, a distal pulse should
be checked. If bleeding persists or a distal pulse is still present, consider
additional tightening of the tourniquet or the use of a second tourniquet sideby-side with the first to eliminate both bleeding and the distal pulse. If the
reassessment determines that the prior tourniquet was not needed, then
remove the tourniquet and note time of removal on the TCCC Casualty
Card.
3. Limb tourniquets and junctional tourniquets should be converted to
hemostatic or pressure dressings as soon as possible if three criteria are met:
the casualty is not in shock; it is possible to monitor the wound closely for
bleeding; and the tourniquet is not being used to control bleeding from an
amputated extremity. Every effort should be made to convert tourniquets in
less than 2 hours if bleeding can be controlled with other means. Do not
remove a tourniquet that has been in place more than 6 hours unless close
monitoring and lab capability are available.
NOTE: TCCC ASM/CLS trained personnel, should not attempt tourniquet
conversion beyond 2 hours post-application unless directed by TCCC
CMC/CPP personnel or other advanced medical personnel. In the absence of
medical oversight, maintain the tourniquet in place and continue monitoring
until the casualty reaches a higher level of care.
4. Expose and clearly mark all tourniquets with the time of tourniquet
application. Note tourniquets applied and time of application; time of reapplication; time of conversion; and time of removal on the TCCC Casualty
Card. Use a permanent marker to mark on the tourniquet and the casualty
card.
