Brief summary

To document in major centres in Australia and New Zealand the current practice for achieving haemostasis in patients who present with significant haemorrhage or require anticoagulant reversal for urgent surgery and/or a procedure whilst on new (dabigatran, rivaroxaban, or apixaban) or established (warfarin) oral anticoagulants. In patients whilst on oral anticoagulants who present with embolism, determine the circumstances and level of anticoagulation at the time of presentation.

Interventions

This is an observational study to document in major centres in Australia and New Zealand the current practice for achieving haemostasis in patients who present with significant haemorrhage, thromboembolism or require anticoagulant reversal for urgent surgery and/or a procedure whilst on new (dabigatran, rivaroxaban, or apixaban) or established (warfarin) oral anticoagulants. The duration of the study is 42 months.
