This review summarizes the current literature on managing oral anticoagulation, particularly NOACs, during the perioperative period given the challenges of lacking reversal agents and quantitative assays.
New oral anticoagulants (NOACs) have recently emerged as an alternative for vitamin K antagonists and are now widely available. Although there is good evidence for their roles in the appropriate clinical settings, so far no reversal agent is currently available. Likewise, there is no readily available laboratory test to quantify drug levels but coagulation assays may provide qualitative information about the presence of some NOACs. We aim to review the current literature regarding the optimal management of oral anticoagulation in the perioperative setting.

Latona et al. (2015) conducted a review in Oral anticoagulation in surgical patients. Management of oral anticoagulation (NOACs) was evaluated. This review summarizes the current literature regarding the optimal management of oral anticoagulation, including new oral anticoagulants, in the perioperative setting.
