alteplase for catheter directed thrombolysis

What alteplase concentration(s) does your institution use for catheter-directed thrombolysis procedures (e.g. 0.02 mg/mL, 10 mg/500 mL)?

If you’re using multiple concentrations, what safety measures have you put in place to minimize concentration mix-ups, specifically order entry errors and smart pump entry errors?

I will compile the results and attach to this discussion thread.

Thank you for your help!

Rosemary
