Each anticoagulant has pros and cons and the decision of which pharmacological agent to use can be confusing and difficult. In years past, Vitamin K antagonists have been the standard of care when treating specific disease states such as atrial fibrillation and venous thromboembolism based on habit and cost of care. The emergence of newer anticoagulants should be considered the new standard of care based on the evidence presented over the last several years.展开更多

Methods: Description and Prospective study. Research on 79 patients receiving anticoagulant therapy with VKAs who have an INR testing index of more than anticoagulation dose with VKAs and check INR every 4 weeks. Results: The average research age is 65.65 ± 12.17 years [33: 85], most of the elderly group. The Male group is lower than the female group (p > 0.05). Patients with hemorrhage signs account for 22.8%. The INR testing index has an average value is 5.88 ± 3.0 [3.02 - 23.95];The group of INR > 5 level is a higher risk of bleeding than the group of INR ≤ 5 levels, there is statistical difference (p Conclusion: All most patients with anticoagulation overdose are in the elderly group. The group with INR > 5 levels has a higher risk of bleeding than the group with INR ≤ 5 levels, it’s the statistical significance (p 1 but p > 0.05);Patients used VKAs drugs on the background of kidney failure or arthritis pathology are the cause of the increased risk of bleeding, it’s statistical significance (p < 0.05).展开更多

Non-vitamin K antagonist (VKA) oral anticoagulants (OACs), including rivaroxaban, dabigatran, apixaban and edoxaban, are effective for the prevention of stroke in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation and for the treatment and secondary prevention of venous thromboembolism. The increasing uptake of the non-VKA OACs in primary care lessens the burden of care and allows for an easier transition of treatment from hospital to home. This transformation in terms of patient management has resulted in the need to empower nurses working in this field to endorse management strategies with a focus on patient education and long-term management (i.e. assessment of compliance, scheduling follow-up visits). Management of both venous thromboembolism and stroke prevention in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation requires a multidisciplinary team approach and, looking to the future, nurses are likely to have a key role at the heart of the thrombosis team. This review aims to provide nurses with the confidence to manage patients with thromboembolic disorders, and highlights the importance of responsible non-VKA OAC use and the impact that this can have on improving patient care and outcomes.展开更多
