22 Consent for IV tpa Current Guideline Statements AHA/ASA guidelines: As with any medical therapy that carries more than minimal risk, explicit informed patient consent for fibrinolytic therapy is indicated. In an emergency, when the patient is not competent and there is no available legally authorized representative to provide proxy consent, it is both ethically and legally permissible to proceed with fibrinolysis. AAN guidelines: if the patient has decision-making capacity or a proxy decision maker is present, a documented discussion regarding risks, benefits, and alternatives to intravenous tpa should take place prior to the administration of the medication.
