Get Pre-Thrombolysis CheCklisT

ECG criteria include ST elevation of at least 1 mm in limb leads and/or at least 2 mm in two or more adjacent chest leads or left bundle branch block. There is no upper age limit.

Systolic blood pressure under 185 mm Hg, diastolic blood pressure under 110 mm Hg. No evidence of acute trauma or bleeding. Not taking an oral anticoagulant, or if so, INR under 1.7. If taking within 48 hours, a normal activated prothrombin time (aPT)

While traditionally thrombolysis is given in hospital, pre‐hospital thrombolysis is proposed as an effective intervention to save time and reduce mortality and morbidity in individuals with ST‐elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI).

Currently, available thrombolytic agents include the following: . . . . . Prourokinase. Anistreplase(APSAC)

The most commonly used clot-busting drugs -- also known as thrombolytic agents -- include: Eminase (anistreplase) () (, kabikinase) t-PA (class of drugs that includes ) () Abbokinase, (rokinase)

No, isn't a thrombolytic drug. It's an anticoagulant that helps your body make clots more slowly. Your provider may prescribe this to keep you from having a stroke. It is given through an IV so it is only prescribed in the hospital.

There are three major classes of fibrinolytic drugs: tissue plasminogen activator (tPA), (SK), and (UK). While drugs in these three classes all effectively dissolve blood clots, they differ in their mechanisms, which alter their selectivity for fibrin clots.

Thrombolytic agents are used to break up dangerous blood clots. The thrombolytic therapy drugs in use today are: . . .
