Prehospital thrombolysis with tenecteplase in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest: a retrospective cohort study
Prehospital thrombolysis with Tenecteplase was not associated with improved survival or ROSC in OHCA and may be linked to worse outcomes. These findings highlight a lack of sustained benefit associated with empiric thrombolysis based on suspected thromboembolic cause in OHCA, and raise questions about its routine prehospital use without definitive diagnosis.
