Navigating Perioperative Anticoagulation Challenges

This week, we discuss another set of high yield topic for anyone who cares for patients on anticoagulation - how to safely hold anticoagulation prior to a procedure and how to reverse the effects of the drug in the even of an emergent situation. We discuss our approach to how we discuss this with our patients and our medical colleagues! Dan also shares his dotphrases for your reference!

Episode contents:

- How do we approach peri-operative anticoagulation management? When do we hold? How long do we hold? Do they need bridging? No bridging?

- In the case of a severe bleed, how do we reverse the effects of anticoagulation?
