Tpa Clot Buster 4,5/5 1010 reviews
You’ve most likely heard of TPA because of its widespread usage in ischemic stroke, but did you know there are several other uses for this clot-busting drug as well? In this podcast episode, Nurse Mo talks about the five common uses for TPA and what you are going to monitor as you give this very potent (and potentially risky) medication.
Researchers analyzed results from 658 stroke patients who were treated with tPA - a drug that dissolves blood clots. About half of the participants received the clot-busting drug at the hospital. Why this might matter wasn't clear at the time, however, and it did not seem connected to tPA's clot-busting power. But drugs often have more than one molecular target, including targets not.
