    Summary

    Tissue-type plasminogen activator (t-PA) is a beneficial fibrinolytic agent for treating myocardial infarction. Critical care nurses play a vital role in ensuring the safe administration of t-PA.

    Area of Science:

    • Cardiology
    • Pharmacology
    • Nursing Science

    Background:

    • Myocardial infarction (MI) treatment benefits from coronary thrombolysis.
    • Tissue-type plasminogen activator (t-PA) is a key fibrinolytic agent under investigation.

    Observation:

    • t-PA possesses unique properties making it effective for MI treatment.
