Tenecteplase Administration - Who does this at your site?

Hello Members,

We are in the process of implementing TNK for AIS and our nursing team would like to know what other institutions do when it comes to administration of TNK in ED and outside ED. Can you share which discipline(s) is/are allowed to administer TNK in ED and outside ED at your site?

We also have a challenge with RN shortage and our current RNs to patients ratio are pretty high; therefore this can impact patient monitoring post TNK. Can you also share what is your monitoring guidelines for TNK if different than tPA?

Thank you for your time.

Manisa
