Program Overview
Severe and life-threatening hemorrhage in patients receiving anti-FXa DOACs is unusual; especially for the most-feared bleeding complication, ICH, events are significantly less common than for patients on vitamin K antagonists (VKA). Still, these events occur, and there is a need for specific, timely, evidence-guided, and multimodal management of DOAC-treated patients with hemorrhage to avoid worsening morbidity, excessive cost and length of stay, and mortality. Hospital pharmacists play a key role in the management of these emergency cases, often serving as the most knowledgeable resource on hand for the use of reversal and repletion agents. Hospital pharmacists also often develop, oversee, and monitor institutional protocols for the management of DOAC-associated hemorrhage. Finally, hospital pharmacists are often responsible for educating front-line physicians on best practice in managing these challenging patients within the capabilities and confines of the individual facility.
Our expert faculty will review the latest data, specialty society guidelines recommendations, and ongoing trials in this challenging therapeutic area. They will also address best processes for developing an institutional protocol for the streamlines and consistent management of anti- FXa-DOAC associated hemorrhage.
Agenda
I. Introduction and Welcome, Review Objectives
II. What Is the Difference Between “Reversal” and “Repletion”?
III. Summary of Current Society Guidelines Recommendations for Management of Anti-FXa-DOAC-Associated Hemorrhage
IV. Case Vignettes Demonstrating the Pharmacist’s Optimal Multi-Modal Management of Hemorrhage in Anti-FXa-DOAC-Treated Patients:
a. Acute ICH
b. Acute Severe GI Bleed with Unstable Vital Signs
c. Multisystem Trauma with Unstable Vital Signs
V. Developing Institutional Pathways for Managing Anti-FXa-DOAC-Associated Hemorrhage
VI. Interactive Panel Discussion
Educational Objectives
- Review the pharmacology and mechanisms of action of andexanet alfa and 4-factor PCC in the management of anti-FXa-DOAC-associated hemorrhage
- Review the latest clinical trial data on reversal/repletion as part of multi-modal management of both ICH and non-ICH events in patients taking anti-FXa DOACs.
- Review the most current society guidelines addressing management of anti-FXa-DOAC-associated hemorrhage.
- Improve competence and confidence in the hospital and ED/ICU pharmacist's role in address and/or lead development of an institutional multi-specialty protocol for the optimal, streamlined management of anti-FXa-DOAC-associated hemorrhage
