A 62-year-old man suddenly experienced difficulty speaking and left-sided weakness. he meets initial criteria for fibrinolytic therapy, and a ct scan of the brain is ordered. which best describes the guidelines for antiplatelet and fibrinolytic therapy?

Respuesta :

Patients who get fibrinolytic therapy should not get aspirin(acetyl salicyl acid/ASA) for 24 hours since they will be at increased risk for bleeding. GIving aspirin can make spontaneous bleeding can be stopped. 
Wait for 24 hours after fibrinolytic therapy then do CT-Scan to make sure that there is no intracranial hemorrhage.
