Fixed dose prothrombin complex concentrate for the reversal of oral anticoagulation therapy
Abstract
Warfarin reversal is frequently required in day to day haematology practice. Prothrombin complex concentrates (PCC) have replaced fresh frozen plasma as the agent of choice in warfarin reversal due to its safety profile. Ideal dose of PCC is still not known and many centres have local guidelines on using the product. We have successfully used PCC (Beriplex) at a fixed dose in our hospital, but we still need randomised control trials to identify the ideal dose of PCC which can result in rapid reversal of warfarin with minimum risk of thrombosis.
