Only criticals are called, hi/lo's. I'm sure this complies with Joint Commission requirements.

Re: does your lab call elevated cardiac enzymes to the floor?

OK, after I posted I had a case that trumped previous experience. Lab did call with a major bump, from 0.0 to 0.28, more than anything though, they were making sure the sample was OK, not that it was high. So I guess there is exception to every rule.
Oh yeah, trops topped out around 2.2, guy went to the lab with a 90% occlusion of his RCA, but with the exception of the first episode of chest pain, pain free.
Cheers,
Tom

Lab always calls the critical labs to us and we have 30 minutes to communicate it with the Doctor.
