Key result
Pharmacologic reversal of direct oral anticoagulants can be utilized instead of supportive care alone to manage bleeding, depending on bleed severity and other clinical criteria.
Why the study?
The rise in direct oral anticoagulant use requires understanding their reversal in cases of bleeding, including when pharmacologic reversal can be considered over supportive care alone.
Pharmacologic reversal of DOACs should be considered alongside supportive care depending on bleeding severity.

May support considering targeted reversal for severe bleeds; leaves open high-quality trials of nursing-specific outcomes.
The rise in direct oral anticoagulant (DOAC) use means nurses must understand the reversal of these agents in case of bleeding. Depending on bleed severity, as well as other criteria, pharmacologic reversal can be considered in place of supportive care alone. Knowledge of literature surrounding DOAC reversal is crucial.
