Why the study?
The rise in DOAC use necessitates understanding their reversal in cases of bleeding, where pharmacologic reversal may be considered instead of supportive care alone.
Understanding pharmacologic reversal of DOACs is crucial for critical care nurses managing patients with bleeding.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
Highlights DOAC reversal education needs for critical care nurses; leaves open prospective trials on outcomes.
In Brief The rise in direct oral anticoagulant (DOAC) use means critical care 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.
