Hello – I am fairly new in the PD unit at TGH. I have enjoyed searching this forum for great insight.
We are reviewing our alteplase for PD catheter occlusion policy. Wondering what dose of alteplase other institutions use? I see literature is quite varied. Do you further dilute it with sterile water to obtain a total volume equal to the dose + volume of Catheter and transfer set?
Thank you!
Francesca
