Abstract
Oral anticoagulants are widely used in the home care of patients who require prevention and treatment of thromboembolic diseases. The irrational use of anticoagulants may cause thrombosis and hemorrhage. Currently, there are no national or international guidelines or consensus providing recommendations for home management of oral anticoagulants. Therefore, the Hospital Pharmacy Professional Committee of the Chinese Pharmaceutical Association organized domestic experts in the fields of clinical pharmacy, cardiovascular surgery, cardiovascular medicine, vascular surgery, respiratory medicine and laboratory science to sort out the relevant issues and compile the expert consensus on the home management of oral anticoagulants. The main contents of this consensus include pharmacological monitoring of oral anticoagulants, the process and precautions of carrying out home management of oral anticoagulants, and treatment of some special conditions during home management, with the aim of enhancing the safety and effectiveness of oral anticoagulants' usage and reducing the adverse events.
