Thrombolytics Workgroup

The Thrombolytics Workgroup within VHAC is dedicated to optimizing the use of thrombolytic therapy for acute cardiac and vascular emergencies. This team collaborates to develop evidence-based protocols that ensure safe and effective thrombolytic administration across healthcare facilities. By reviewing current practices and aligning with national guidelines, the workgroup aims to standardize care, improve patient outcomes, and reduce complications associated with thrombolytic treatment. Their ongoing efforts focus on refining best practices, addressing challenges in implementation, and enhancing education for healthcare providers.
