 The STEMI program has reduced STEMI deaths in the Ottawa region by 50 per cent.In a related program in Toronto, EMS has begun to use a procedure of 'rescuing' STEMI patients from the Emergency Rooms of hospitals without PCI labs, and transporting them, on an emergency basis, to waiting PCI labs in other hospitals.Physician-led EMS is also known as the Franco-German model, "stay and play", "stay and stabilize" or "delay and treat".
