Clot Busting - Fibrinolytics Part 1

Matt and Will take the first step in a deep dive into the use of fibrinolytics in the emergent setting. This episode covers some history and considerations when using and discussing fibrinolytic use in patients. We also take an in-depth look at the contraindications and why they are what they are. 

This episode primarily focuses on the current most common use of fibrinolytics with strokes. Matt and Will go into discussing as well what to consider and watch for after using one of these medications. 

This is part 1 of 2 with fibrinolytic use.
