Nurse Learning Objectives

At the conclusion of this continuing education activity, the participant will be able to:

  1. Discuss risk assessment tools to identify patients at increased risk of bleeding and stroke

  2. Identify the modifiable risk factors that can potentiate bleeding in patients prescribed DOAC therapy

  3. Describe novel agents to reverse bleeding associated with direct oral anticoagulants


Course description

Each direct-acting oral anticoagulants agent has a unique pharmacokinetic profile and approved indication, therefore, educational initiatives are essential. Clinicians need to appropriately select the correct anticoagulant and dose, identify reversible risk factors of bleeding, and formulate a management strategy for a major bleed using a new reversal agent. The goal is to provide ongoing education so that clinicians are able to confidently select the correct DOAC agent to minimize the adverse effects, while also formulating a strategy to reverse anticoagulation using a novel agent.

I really loved this information. I was hospitalized last year for almost a month and I noticed multiple medical errors (not being hooked up to my IV multiple times, given wrong medication which caused my sodium to be very low, etc.) which lengthened my stay. I can now define those exact errors and better understand what happened to me. I hate that these medical errors are so common and I appreciate how well laid out your breakdown and categorization of them was.
