Reversal and Reinitiation of Anticoagulation

Anticoagulation therapy is associated with increased risk of bleeding, including intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) and gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding, which occurs in up to 7% per patient years with an estimated overall mortality rate of 9%.¹ Additionally, urgent surgery with increased bleeding complications in patients on oral anticoagulation appears to be common but has not been well studied.² In this activity, we review strategies to manage potentially life-threatening ICH and GI bleeding and minimize the risk of bleeding with urgent surgery in patients on oral anticoagulation.

SHM's Clinical Quick Talks

In light of the busy clinical services and demands on hospitalists’ schedules, it is often difficult to carve out time to prepare short lectures for residents and students.
