Perioperative Management of Anticoagulant Therapy

Scalpels pause; clots don’t. In this case-based, guideline-tuned course, hospitalists determine who truly needs interruption, understand bleeding and thrombotic tiers, and design precise stop/resume calendars for warfarin and DOACs. You’ll chart bridging only when it matters, apply timing algorithms pre-op and post-op, and critique real cases to confidently interrupt, reverse, and resume therapy for safer, coordinated procedures.
