Treatment protocol at ER for Angina due to coronary disease. 5 questions?

For a fictional case. I have researched the Heart Assoc site and others, some things are unclear. A male in early 60s presents with chest pains, w/history of cholestorol and blood pressure. 1. What tests would be done? 2. If the diagnosis is Angina, what type of treatment/meds would he get? 3. Would he be kept in the hospital or released same day? 3a. If yes, then how long a stay and is it standard for such an Angina patient with coronary blockage to be in ICU? 4. If stent implantation w/ angioplasty is recommended, would it be done immediately as an emergency procedure, or would it be done after several days past intitial ER visit, or would patient be released and told to undergo the implantation as an outpatient procedure?
I’m trying to be as accurate with regards to treatment protocols, and how many days testing and treatment would cover. I’ve read there is a move to get the patient to the Cath lab within 90 minutes instead of waiting for the cardiologist to ok it. Thanks you!

Tests: SpO2, T, BP, HR, serial 12-lead (possibly 15-lead) ECGs (labeled with pain from 0-10) + bloodwork (CK + Troponin I + CBC+D & coags (PT + PTT)). CK-myocardial band (CKMB) is an expensive test and only used now in fresh CABG pts — the Trop. I test has a better yield and is more sensitive. Chest X-ray (CXR) to rule out aortic dissection, PE, and tension pneumothorax.

Treatment: ABCDs: O2 (start with 2L nasal cannula with pulse oximetry to keep SpO2 > 95% + rest to give the potentially ischemic myocardium a break by increasing myocardial O2 delivery (DO2)), 325 mg ASA to chew, continuous 5-lead cardiac monitoring, IV saline locks X 2 (this is for safety + blood can be drawn from one of them — nitroglycerin (NTG) can cause potentially fatal complications (related to hypotension) in some “NTG-naive” individuals and complications in pt’s with aortic stenosis so you may need an IV fluid bolus handy), *then* sublingual nitro (0.4 mg spray or 0.3 mg tab, 1 every 5 min X 3 doses). If Trop I -ve, repeat in 6h; If +ve, overnight stay (on a cardiac monitor). Beta blocker. Morphine for pain + ongoing pain (PQRST) assessment and documentation (especially if titrating a NTG gtt).

Diagnose MI (STEMI vs NSTEMI) vs unstable angina vs other (i.e. non-cardiac) — all have different Txs. E.g. MI with ST-segment elevation (STEMI) is treated emergently with PCI or thrombolytics; NSTEMIs or STEMIs with no new LBBBs are treated c heparin or group IIb / IIIa antagonists (e.g. abciximab or other antiplatelets). ICU stay for unstable angina or discharge home if heartburn (“pink lady” or “white lightning” still given, but controversial in ruling out heartburn).

Ideally, ‘door to drug’ (i.e. TNK or tPA — “clotbusters”) or ‘street to stent’ for STEMIs should ideally occur within a 90 min. window; in reality though, most stents are placed electively in an outpatient setting (after the MI).

There are fancier tests and treatments, but these are the basics for CP.
