Why the study?
Does four-factor prothrombin complex concentrate reduce blood loss in a dabigatran-anticoagulated porcine polytrauma model?
Does four-factor prothrombin complex concentrate reduce blood loss in a dabigatran-anticoagulated porcine polytrauma model?
Four-factor PCC at 50 or 100 U/kg effectively reduces blood loss in a dabigatran-anticoagulated porcine polytrauma model, though it may induce a procoagulant state.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
PCC may reduce bleeding in dabigatran-treated trauma; leaves open safe human dosing and efficacy.
