Goal Statement Because DOAC use is increasing, bleeding events related to these agents are likely to increase even though they have a lower bleeding risk. New reversal agents are becoming available for patients who require rapid reversal of anticoagulation in the event of unplanned surgery or major bleeding, such as ICH. Pharmacists need education on the burden of ICH, reversal agents, and guidelines/recommendations so that they may participate in formulary decisions and protocol development for DOAC reversal. The ability to rapidly address bleeding issues can lead to improved patient outcomes. Having pharmacist experts available can facilitate these improvements. |
