Sumario: | Real-world utilization of 4-factor prothrombin complex concentrate (4F-PCC) and plasma for the management of oral anticoagulant (OAC)-associated bleeding in US trauma hospitals was described. This is amulticenter, retrospective chart review evaluating the use of 4F-PCC and plasma in OAC reversal across medical specialties. Physicians completed a survey and extracted data from 3 to 5 patient charts. Variables of interest included medical specialty, urgency, and bleed type. Two hundred and thirty-five physicians completed the survey, and 861 patient charts were included in the study. 4F-PCC was commonly used in life-threatening or emergent indications, whereas plasma was used in emergent and urgent indications. Plasma was used mostly for patients on warfarin (53% vs 47% 4F-PCC) and 4F-PCC for those on apixaban (82% vs 18% plasma) and rivaroxaban (77% vs 23% plasma). This retrospective analysis showed that 4F-PCC was predominantly used for OAC reversal despite available specific reversal agents for some of the OAC. Although it is not recommended by any reversal guidelines, plasma is still used for OAC reversal. Plasma should be avoided in the management of OAC-associated bleeding. |
