April 2016: Thrombolytics in Acute Ischemic Stroke




Arizona EMCast show

Summary: Happy April AZEMCast listeners. This month, we cover the mother of all EM controversies: thrombolytics in acute ischemic stroke. Guaranteed to spice up any EM/Neuro mixer, this topic is hotly debated throughout the literature so we dive in head first in the papers that set the guidelines and standards. <br> <br> No peer review this month (too hot to handle, too cold to hold), but Brian and Chris more than make up for it with their deadly accurate editorials.<br> <br> Happy listening!<br> <br> Aaron, Jarrod, and Brian<br> <br> Peer Review: Dr. Arthur Smolensky - University of Tennessee<br>
