Podcast 116 – the tPA for Ischemic Stroke Debate - a podcast by Scott D. Weingart, MD FCCM

Here is one of my favorite segments from the 2014 EMCrit/ISMMS Conference. My chair Dr. Andy Jagoda debates my friend Dr. Anand Swaminathan.



The debate seemed relevant because ACEP, a major US emergency medicine organization, released clinical guidelines markedly increasing stress on thrombolysing stroke. These clinical guidelines were sent back by ACEP's council for further commentary and assessment, a move unprecedented in the history of the organization.
