Hemodynamically Unstable P.E---->indication for thrombolytics, unless the pt has C.I to its use..if C.I do embolectomy If recent stroke/ hx of IC hemmorhage( any time)---->and now P.E-->best answer is IV filter--->this is also indicated if pts goes into recurrent P.E when on anticoagulants.. CONTRAINDICATIONS to tPA 1. Rapidly improving or minor symptoms 2. Evidence of intracranial hemorrhage on pretreatment exam 3. History of intracranial hemorrhage 4. Suspicion of subarachnoid hemorrhage 5. Recent intracranial surgery or serious head trauma or recent previous stroke (<3 months) 6. Major surgery or serious trauma excluding head trauma in the previous 14 days 7. On repeated measurements, systolic blood pressure is >185 mmHg or diastolic blood pressure is >110 mmHg at the time treatment is to begin, and patients require aggressive treatment to reduce blood pressure to within these limits 8. Seizure at onset of stroke 9. Active internal bleeding 10. History of gastrointestinal or urinary tract hemorrhage within 21 days 11. Recent arterial puncture at a noncompressible site 12. Recent lumbar puncture 13. Intracranial neoplasm, arteriovenous malformation, or aneurysm 14. Known bleeding diathesis, including, but not limited to: 15. Current use of oral anticoagulants (e.g., warfarin sodium) or recent use with international normalized ratio (INR) >1.2 16. Administration of Heparin within 48 hours preceding the onset of the stroke or an elevated activated Partial Thromboplastin Time (aPTT) at presentation 17. Platelet count <100,000 mm3 18.
