Morphine
Fentanyl
Pre-hospital Ticagrelor 180 mg loading dose orally. Morphine, initial dose: 4-8 mg, additional doses of 2 mg every 5-15 minutes to achieve adequate sedation, if required. Aspirin 500 mg loading dose orally (or intravenously). Unfractioned heparin 5'000 IU loading dose intravenously, additional doses to achieve an ACT >250 sec during PCI are allowed. Primary PCI.
Pre-hospital Ticagrelor 180 mg loading dose orally. Fentanyl, initial dose: 50-100 mcg, additional doses of 25 mcg every 2-5 minutes to achieve adequate sedation, if required. Aspirin 500 mg loading dose orally (or intravenously). Unfractioned heparin 5'000 IU loading dose intravenously, additional doses to achieve an ACT >250 sec during PCI are allowed. Primary PCI.
