Abstract |
Intracranial hemorrhage in patients receiving oral anticoagulant (OAC) therapy is associated with poor neurological outcome. Prothrombin complex concentrate (PCC) is the gold-standard therapy to normalize hemostasis but remains underused. Ultra-rapid reversal of anticoagulation could reduce the time to biological and surgical hemostasis, and might improve outcome. We report the use of bolus infusions of PCC to immediately reverse anticoagulation and allow for urgent neurosurgical care. |
