5 Los Alamitos Medical Center Pharmacy Department Policy and Procedure Title/Subject: ADULT Anticoagulant Reversal Guidelines Section: 13 Number: RXM ORIGINAL DATE: 10/13 REVIEW DATE: 10/13 REVISED DATE: Page 1 of 3 I. Scope: Pharmacy Department This is a Los Alamitos Medical Center Policy and Procedure. II. Purpose: To improve therapeutic outcomes for patients experiencing bleeding events while receiving anticoagulants at Los Alamitos Medical center. Although many older anticoagulants have clearly established antidotes (ie. Warfarin, heparin) newer agents which are demonstrating increased effectiveness for a variety of disorders have no real reversal strategies available. These guidelines, to be updated yearly, will review the most current literature to support health care providers in their attempt to safely stop bleeding for patients with complications on anticoagulants. III. Policy: Any new bleed, major or minor, for a patient receiving anticoagulants will be reported to the treating physician. At the treating physician s recommendation, the following strategies may be used to handle bleeding events: Holding the anticoagulant Using a pharmacologic antidote Using a physical antidote (ie. Dialysis) Administration of blood products Any combination of the above IV. Procedure: A. Baseline bleed risk assessment will be performed on all patients receiving anticoagulants. In addition, baseline and periodic labs will be drawn including but not limited to: CBC, Scr, PT/INR, and aptt. B. Nursing will perform daily assessments for signs of bleeding in all patients treated with anticoagulants. These may include signs/symptoms of any of the following: melana, bruising, epistaxis, gingival hemorrhage, or hematoma formation.

6 Los Alamitos Medical Center Pharmacy Department Policy and Procedure ORIGINAL DATE: 10/13 REVIEW DATE: 10/13 REVISED DATE: Page 2 of 3 Title/Subject: ADULT Anticoagulant Reversal Guidelines Section: 13 Number: RXM C. Note: There is no specific reversal agent or pharmacologic antidote for direct thrombin inhibitors,dabigatran, Xa inhibitors, and anti-platelet agents. Patient on anticoagulation may be treated using the reversal guideline. D. For moderate bleeding events, consider the following: Symptomatic treatment Mechanical compression Surgical intervention Fluid replacement and hemodynamic support Blood product transfusion E. For severe or life threatening bleeding events, a hematology consult should be considered for further recommendations. REVERSAL AGENTS: 1. Protamine Treatment of choice for both heparin and enoxaparin reversal Heparin protamine dosed based on the time since heparin has been stopped Enoxaparin- reversal will only neutralize approximately 60^ of the anti-xa activity; repeat dose may be given in 2-4 hours if the aptt has not returned to normal. Pre-medicate with corticosteroids and antihistamines if a risk for protamine allergy (caution with patients with a fish allergy): 1. Hydrocortisone mg IV x1 over 15 minutes 2. Diphenhydramine 50mg IV/PO x1 2. Vitamin K: Treatment of choice for reversal from warfarin activity Oral Vitamin K is preferred Vitamin K IV to be given when INR>10 and /or when the patient is actively hemorrhaging. In addition, keep the doses of vitamin K as low as possible to prevent difficulty in getting the patient back to therapeutic range once the event has resolved (per 2012 CHEST guidelines for Antithrombotic Therapy and Prevention of Thrombosis).

7 Los Alamitos Medical Center Pharmacy Department Policy and Procedure ORIGINAL DATE: 10/13 REVIEW DATE: 10/13 REVISED DATE: Page 3 of 3 Title/Subject: ADULT Anticoagulant Reversal Guidelines Section: 13 Number: RXM Prothrombin Concentrate Complex: Potential efficacy in the reversal of direct thrombin inhibitors and anti-factor Xa agents (per 2012 CHEST guidelines for Antithrombotic Therapy and Prevention of Thrombosis) Kcentra agent of choice in combination with vitamin K for URGENT warfarin rescue 4.Activated charcoal: To aid in reversal of the following oral anticoagulants: rivaroxaban, apixaban, and dabigatran if ingested within 2 hours. Mix with flavoring agents to enhance compliance 5.DDAVP: Reversal of bleeding associated with antiplatelet agents May have a role in the rescue of GPIIB/IIIA inhibitors Extremely short half-life
