Perioperative Management of Anticoagulation is organized by Society of Hospital Medicine (SHM).,,Course opens: 10/30/2020,Course expires: 10/30/2023,,Overview:,Current estimates indicate that 2 to 3 million Americans take anticoagulants for prevention of thromboembolism from venous thromboembolism, atrial fibrillation, or prosthetic heart valves. Invasive procedures are performed in as many as 250 000 patients taking anticoagulants on an annual basis in the United States. Consequently, management of anticoagulants in the perioperative period is a common and vexing challenge for physicians. Because not all patients are at the same risk of thromboembolism and not all procedures are associated with the same risk of bleeding, it is important for hospitalists to know how to weigh these risks in their patients. The purpose of this module is to review risk stratification for thromboembolism and bleeding associated with different thromboembolic disorders and invasive procedures.,,Learning Objectives:,After completing the module, the participant should be able to:,• Assess the risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE) associated with interruption of anticoagulation in patients with a history of VTE, deep venous thrombosis, or pulmonary embolism.,• Assess the risk of arterial thromboembolism (ATE) associated with interruption of anticoagulation in patients with atrial fibrillation.,• Assess the risk of ATE associated with interruption of anticoagulation in patients with mechanical heart valves.,• Formulate a plan for pre-and post-operative anticoagulation management in patients taking warfarin or direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs).,,Goal: ,To provide hospitalists with current evidence on recommended management of anticoagulants in the periprocedural period.
