Abstract

Surv Anesthesiol 2016;60(2):79–80 Although oral thrombin inhibitor dabigatran is associated with less bleeding risks than vitamin K antagonists, there are still high-risk anticoagulant effects that, without a reversal antidote, can be life threatening. Agents that have been used to attempt reversal of these effects, such as nonactivated prothrombin complex concentrates (PCCs) and recombinant factor VIIa (FVIIa), have had no clinical trial validating their effectiveness in restoring hemostasis.
