Here are some updates for the staff of Cartersville Medical Center about the treatment of our stroke patients. #1 order the tPA on paper form and give directly to RN as soon as you r/o exclusion criteria to the administration #2 make sure teleNeuro has been called (stat vs non urgent) #3 the goal is 60 min for arrival to drug administration so TIME IS BRAIN!!! #4 If you are going to give tPA then call the RED-LINE transfer center to get the transfer started and consultation about the tPA administration. Remember the ED doc is the one ordering the tPA so you do NOT need teleNeuro eval to start this process.
