Circulation, Volume 150, Issue Suppl_1 , Page A4142449-A4142449, November 12, 2024. Background:The ‘closed unit model’ is increasingly being adopted as a model for providing critical care to cardiac patients in contemporary intensive care units (ICU), where patients are under the direct care of an intensivist-led primary team.

This EKG was recorded as part of a standing order for critical care. Of course this depends on many factors: 1) duration of occlusion, 2) whether full or near occlusion with zero flow or some flow -- the flow in the artery is the critical factor, measured by "TIMI" flow, 3) presence of collateral circulation and others.
