ACEP Comment Period Open for Draft Intravenous tPA Clinical Policy

The Clinical Policies Committee of ACEP has completed a draft clinical guideline: “Clinical Policy: Use of Intravenous tPA for the Management of Acute Ischemic Stroke in the Emergency Department.” Since the 2012 clinical policy on IV tPA, there have been changes to the clinical policies development process, the grading forms used to rate published research have continued to evolve, and some newer research articles have been published.

The draft is now open for comments until March 13, 2015.
