The purpose of Activase® Therapy for Acute Ischemic Stroke Management is to inform the healthcare provider about stroke recognition, complication and treatment, including the use of Activase® for stroke management.

As the public becomes more informed about strokes, people are recognizing the signs and symptoms earlier and arriving to the hospital where they are quickly being evaluated to receive Activase® for acute ischemic stroke.

With an increased use of this drug, nursing professionals need to develop their knowledge of how to properly care for a patient before, during, and after the administration of Activase®.
