You may adress it but i had a right MCA ischemic stroke i was given TPA. But they still transported me by ambulance about 100 miles for a thrombeectomy. Why wouldn't the TPA have been enough?

Hello and thank you for your video! How does heparin fit in all this?

[@NurseInTheMaking]

Hi there! You are so welcome :) Heparin may be used in conjunction with tPA therapy, but this is patient-specific and totally depends on the overall patient condition and diagnosis. It is not always given with tPA. Since these medications can be high-risk for the patient, always be sure to follow orders and question any that you suspect may compromise the safety of your patient!

Hi there again, i have a DVT can TPA's help with that or is it too risky?

[@NurseInTheMaking]

I am sorry for your recent medical diagnosis. I can’t provide medical advice, but would definitely suggest seeing your healthcare provider for the best treatment option for you. Wishing you all the best!
