How Can A Stroke Be Treated?
If a if a patient comes in through the ER having a stroke. Would and how quickly the physician get TPA on board? What types of dosage are we thinking? Also, how long would you expect it to have lasting effects? I ask because I m wondering if that could be the cause of persistent oozing from the femoral access site 36 hours later even though a closure device was used.

Emergency treatment for stroke depends on whether you're having an ischemic stroke blocking an artery — the most common kind — or a hemorrhagic stroke that involves bleeding into the brain.
