Clinical Policy: Use of Intravenous tPA for the Management of Acute Ischemic Stroke in the Emergency Department

Here are the two questions this group answered.

CRITICAL QUESTIONS
1. Is IV tPA safe and effective for acute ischemic stroke
patients if given within 3 hours of symptom onset?
2. Is IV tPA safe and effective for acute ischemic stroke
patients treated between 3 to 4.5 hours after symptom
onset?
They completely missed the most important question. How effective is it for completely restoring function?  8 high powered doctors on the panel and they don't seem to know that   that tPA has only a 12% efficacy rate?)
This is what survivors are up against. Stroke medical personnel that don't seem to have a complete understanding of things that work and don't work in stroke rehab. I guess us stroke-addled survivors are supposed to rehabilitate ourselves.
