Abstract
Today a variety of anticoagulants and antiplatelet agents are available on the market. Given the propensity for bleeding among patients prescribed these medications, the emergency medicine physician must be equipped with a working knowledge of hemostasis, and anticoagulant and antiplatelet reversal. This article reviews strategies to address bleeding complications occurring secondary to warfarin, low-molecular-weight heparin, and direct oral anticoagulant therapy.Entities:
