Background
- Consider post-tPA ICH if patient develops:
- Decreased LOC
- Worsening neurologic exam
- Increased weakness
- New headache
- Sudden rise in BP
- May also have GI bleed, mucosal bleeding
Management
- Immediately Stop tPA, even on suspicion of post-tPA hemorrhage
- STAT Head CT
- If no bleeding: resume tPA
- If post-tPA ICH present
- Obtain baseline labs: CBC, D-dimer, type and screen, fibrinogen. Check INR 15 minutes after FFP administration (see below) and platelets 15 min after platelet administration (see below)
- Administer cryoprecipitate 10 units for fibrinogen replacement
- If fibrinogen returns > 150, discontinue, if < 150, recheck in 1 hr and if still low administer additional 20 units
- Administer FFP 20 ml/kg
- If INR > 1.4, give additional 20 ml/kg)
- Administer 2-5 packs platelets
- If platelets <100,000, give additional PRN to achieve Plt > 100,000
- STAT neurosurgery consult
- Consider TXA 15 mg/kg IV in 250 ml x 20 min if ongoing hemorrhage after above measures
Medication Dosing
Tranexamic acid 15mg/kg IV in 250mL over 20 min IV
