Synopsis

Although highly effective in preventing thromboembolic events, the safe management of anticoagulant therapy continues to be a major challenge, requiring constant monitoring and coordinated models of patient-centered care. Anticoagulation Therapy: A Clinical Practice Guide, Second Edition, helps take the guesswork out of managing these therapies and provides essential recommendations.

This revised and expanded edition includes:
Extensive new information on the direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs)
Expanded information on anticoagulant reversal and expanded use of prothrombin complex concentrates
New chapters on the use of anticoagulants in special patient populations, the use of anticoagulants in patients with mechanical devices, anticoagulation care delivery standards, regulatory issues, and more
Four new appendices on the effect of DOACs on chemotherapy, nutritional influences, types of central nervous system hemorrhage, and use of anticoagulation in patients with coagulopathies
