A 71-year-old woman with atrial fibrillation on warfarin presents with melena and dizziness. Vital signs show BP 92/58, HR 108, RR 20, temp 36.8°C, SpO2 98% on room air. Laboratory studies reveal INR 7.8, hemoglobin 7.2 g/dL (previously 12.1), and normal platelet count. She denies recent trauma or falls. She is actively bleeding from the gastrointestinal tract. Which of the following is the most appropriate immediate management?

  1. A)Hold warfarin and repeat INR tomorrow
  2. B)Administer vitamin K alone
  3. C)Administer idarucizumab
  4. D)Administer 4-factor prothrombin complex concentrate plus vitamin KGABARITO
  5. E)Administer protamine sulfate

Explicação

Life threatening warfarin associated bleeding requires rapid replacement of vitamin K dependent clotting factors with 4-factor prothrombin complex concentrate plus vitamin K for sustained reversal. Vitamin K alone works too slowly in active major bleeding. Ver explicação completa e trilha adaptativa →
