If we could continue the conversation of TPA I have two questions--
(1) Since I am unfamilar with the dose given for Acute MI--if the dose of TPA administered for catheter occlusion is 1/50th the dose given for AMI how many times is that 1mg dose in relationship to the dose for AMI
(2) If there are no TPA "contraindications" how does one convince an MD that it is safe to give that 1mg dose for a patient with DIC
Thank you in advance for your insights--
