Background

  • Brand name Pradaxa
  • If aPTT is <1.5 x control, it is unlikely that significant drug effect is present
  • Thrombin Time (TT) is most sensitive; normal TT excludes presence of significant dabigatran

Mild Bleeding

  • Local control measures: direct pressure
  • Delay next 1-2 doses OR discontinue (as appropriate)

Moderate-Severe Bleeding

  • Local control measures: direct pressure/surgical intervention
  • Resuscitate with intravenous fluid and / blood products
  • Oral charcoal administration if drug taken <2 hours before presentation
  • Hemodialysis will remove ~60% of drug taken over prior 2-3 hours
  • Consider Idarucizumab (Praxbind): 5 grams IV

Life-Threatening Bleeding

In addition, consider above PLUS

  • Consider FEIBA[1]
  • Consider Recombinant Factor VIIa (no good data)
  • Consider Kcentra (PCC): 50 IU/kg IV bolus[2]
  • Consider Tranexamic acid
