Question about Episode 1 Question 1 (anticoagulant choices)
Question 1 briefly mentions the reversal of several anticoagulant drugs (warfarin, DOACs, etc). You mention andexanet alfa and PCC (prothrombin complex concentrates). Could you explain when each of these would be correct and why? Thanks! Love the content and the idea is cool, looking forward for more bombs.
Question 8
In the podcast it says after 2IM epi, you start a drip- which is what I do in my practice as well. However, one of my Rosh or Peer9 questions said that after IM, you should try a bolus IV dose of 0.1mg in 10ml NS bag, followed by a drip if that doesn't work... any credebility in that?
