Role of point-of-care ultrasound in STEMI patients
by ACVC in collaboration with EAPCI

Dear colleague, we kindly ask you to complete a brief questionnaire regarding your clinical practice and your opinion on the role of point-of-care ultrasound in the context of ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI).
The survey is designed to take no more than five minutes to complete.
Thank you so much.

2.In which country do you work?
3.How old are you?

5.Are you a member of:
6.Do you work in a primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) centre?
7.Does your hospital provide 24-hour primary angioplasty?
8.Do you have a dedicated echocardiography available in your catheterisation laboratory?
9.In your hospital, is it sometimes possible that a STEMI patient goes directly to the cardiac catheterisation laboratory without going through the emergency department?
10.In your daily clinical practice, do patients with STEMI routinely undergo a point-of-care ultrasound before coronary angiography?
11.In your opinion, should patients with STEMI in general undergo a point-of-care ultrasound before coronary angiography?
12.What is your opinion on performing point-of-care ultrasound before coronary angiography in STEMI patients?
13.In your opinion, how long a point-of-care ultrasound performed prior to coronary angiography in a STEMI patient should ideally last in order not to delay reperfusion therapy and allow for a complete assessment?
14.In your opinion, should a STEMI patient always undergo a physical examination before coronary angiography?
15.In your opinion, how would you rate the importance of point-of-care ultrasound compared to physical examination?
16.If you had limited time before coronary angiography in a STEMI patient and had to choose only one option, would you prefer to perform a point-of-care ultrasound or a physical examination?
17.How do you think the use of point-of-care ultrasound and physical examination will evolve in the future?
