Journal: A Nursing Approach to Improving Critical Care Compliance With Vital Signs and Neurological Assessments in Post-IV-Alteplase Stroke Patients. (Pubmed Central) - Aug 28, 2022 This article outlines a nursing intervention regarding the use of intravenous thrombolytic therapy for treating acute ischemic stroke, the risk factors related to IV-alteplase, best-practice protocols, and the nursing role in efforts to deliver safe care. The conclusion reveals the need for health care organizations to explore opportunities, continually inspire innovation at the bedside, highlight nursing's essential contribution to acute stroke care, and encourage publishing improvements in patient care and the nurse practice environment.

Journal: Effect of Salvia Miltiorrhiza Polyphenolic Acid Injection on Improving Limb Use and Cognitive Impairment in Patients with Acute Stroke. (Pubmed Central) - Aug 28, 2022 The clinical data of 90 acute stroke patients were collected for retrospective study and divided into 45 cases each in the comparison group and the observation group according to the different treatment methods; using basic treatment + salvianolic acid, the comparison group implemented conventional alteplase and butalbital treatment, and the observation group used injectable salvianolic acid treatment, to observe and compare the clinical efficacy, changes in neurological deficits, cognitive function, and motor function scores before and after treatment in the two groups...There was no statistically significant difference in liver and kidney function and cardiac enzyme test indexes between the two groups of patients at 14 days of treatment (P > 0.05). Danshen polyphenolic acid for injection has definite clinical efficacy in the treatment of acute ischemic stroke, and it can effectively improve cognitive and motor functions and promote neurological recovery in patients with high safety.

Journal: Major Bleeding Postadministration of Tenecteplase Versus Alteplase in Acute Ischemic Stroke. (Pubmed Central) - Aug 26, 2022 There was no significant difference in all-cause inpatient mortality for alteplase versus tenecteplase (10 [5%] vs 5 [4%], P = 0.934) or in adverse events between the groups (22 [9%] vs 14 [12%], P = 0.541) for alteplase and tenecteplase, respectively. Tenecteplase had similar rates of major bleeding versus alteplase and may be a reasonable alternative in the treatment of acute ischemic stroke.
