Very useful information Thank you for making it look less complex

[@ICUAdvantage]

This is great to hear. This is my whole goal!

[@JL_79]

Thanks much! This will be a good reference video.

[@ICUAdvantage]

Awesome! That's my goal with this series. Quick, somewhat detailed overview for quick refresher :)

[@bonniehuang8696]

Great video as always! I didn't know much of its use in PE so this is very helpful (heparin is usually used in the cases I know of) but then I haven't come across super massive ones yet. Thank you!

[@ICUAdvantage]

Yeah, the indication for PE is massive PE leading to cardiac arrest. Standard treatment is usually heparin and or TNK. We have given it during codes quite a few times. Just a quick push dose, hoping to break things up enough to end the arrest.

[@dann.9913]

what is the efficacy of alteplase? In other words, how much of a clot, in general, does it dissolve?

[@dgmnhn2098]

Thanks !

[@fikepacitech5467]

My friend is suffering so much from pulmonary embolism and through my research i found that Alteprase could help her. Can you suggest me all steps to take to help her?

[@maryameboutkhil6909]

Very useful! Thank you!!

[@justinparker9892]

Thanks for the content Eddie

[@ICUAdvantage]

Absolutely my pleasure!

[@ericaherr9294]

Do you have a video for thrombolytics specifically, also how to prepare for BKAT..I’m starting training for icu soon and I have to get an 82% or higher. Thank u!

[@michaelburatovich3199]

This was splendid. Well done. Can Alteplase be used for renal ischemia caused by clots?

[@ICUAdvantage]

Awesome! Thanks Michael! I don't know if I have ever seen it used for that. I wonder if they may use TNK targeted more directly for that?

[@exploringemirates9998]

My younger sister had her first stoke in December 2019 when she was 20 years old. She is still suffering from stroke. Still in mint condition.face bento ne side unconscious.like face dropping,arm weekness,speech difficulty Then it seems that altiplus was not given. Now can he take altiplus. If someone gives an idea in this regard, I will be greatly benefited

[@henriquelopes9596]

Always relevant. Thanks.

[@ICUAdvantage]

Awesome! Glad you liked it.

[@neelamm16]

Great video thanks!!

[@ICUAdvantage]

Glad you liked it!

[@belledel4777]

Wished you had gone over the waste. Are you wasting alteplase amount, so that what you are giving in the bolus and what is calculated based on weight is the amount given? Also, I thought the bolus which is 10% of the total dose was IVP by MD, here you set up the pump, so that it gives the bolus. Can you please clarify??

[@sergieghalliwell8753]

When instilling Alteplase for CVC/PICC patency we are often told to aspirate the amount instilled, is that practice outdated. Also, I was told even if the alteplase went into systemic circulation it would probably not do much harm d/t its short half-life.... what are your thoughts on that?

[@bobkennedy6382]

Awesome!!! Would be cool to know reversals as well!

[@ICUAdvantage]

Good suggestion. Although no real reversal per say. TXA and Amicar are helpful, along with products and factors to try and I guess reverse the effects in a way.

[@ceceliamendez9907]

Why do you need to use a 10 ml syringe when trying to restore central line patency? I've also heard that you should never draw blood with anything less than 10 ml due to pressure. I often have to access PICC lines and want to understand why.

[@ICUAdvantage]

I hadn't hear of drawing with 10ml, but not to infuse with anything less than 10ml. It is because of the pressure. The smaller syringes can create much more force and risk damaging the line in the patient.

[@immadisarojini2775]

Nicely designed

[@ICUAdvantage]

[@diboraethiopia.793]

Is that help for nclex .?

[@ICUAdvantage]

I don't think this info is covered in NCLEX. Maybe some basics about monitoring and why to use.

[@mirandaalexis]

cathflo is great honestly

[@ICUAdvantage]

It really is!

[@phoenixjaphoenixja12]

[@JungRich313]

Man the dose is already complicated why can't it be 1mg/kg rather than 0.9mg/kg!!! Haha. 😡

[@ICUAdvantage]
