Another Survey: tPA for Stroke

From ACEP

Forty percent of emergency physicians reported that they were not likely to use rt-PA for acute ischemic stroke, according to a random survey of 2,600 ACEP members published in the July edition of Annals of Emergency Medicine. About two-thirds of these physicians said symptomatic intracerebral hemorrhage risk prevented their use, and about a quarter cited the relative lack of benefit.
