Perioperative management of trauma surgery patients treated with direct oral anticoagulants

Abstract

As the population gets older the prevalence of atrial fibrillation and venous thromboembolism also increases. Therefore, more patients require anticoagulation and currently direct oral anticoagulants (DOAC), such as dabigatran etexilate, apixaban, rivaroxaban and edoxaban are preferred to vitamin K antagonists (VKA), mainly because of the more favorable risk-benefit profile with respect to bleeding. Older patients in particular frequently present at the accident and emergency department due to falls and an increased risk of fractures. The perioperative management of these patients who are treated with DOACs is a challenge in the clinical routine and needs special consideration. This article discusses these issues in an interdisciplinary approach and develops strategies for the perioperative management of patients treated with DOACs and undergoing trauma or orthopedic surgery.

Atrial Fibrillation

Atrial fibrillation is a common arrhythmia that is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality, particularly due to stroke and thromboembolism. Here is the latest research.

Atrial Filbrillation

Atrial fibrillation refers to the abnormal heart rhythm characterized by rapid and irregular beating of the atria. Here is the latest research.

Arrhythmia

Arrhythmias are abnormalities in heart rhythms, which can be either too fast or too slow. They can result from abnormalities of the initiation of an impulse or impulse conduction or a combination of both. Here is the latest research on arrhythmias.
