Practical use of DOACs – A patient profile approach (Clinical lunch chat on-demand)
Focusing on patient profiles and practical approaches, this Lunch Chat deals with DOAC selection, initiation and ongoing primary care of patients requiring these anticoagulation agents on a longer-term basis
Learning objectives:
You will learn:
- To select which patient in your clinical practice should be considered for anticoagulation therapy – evaluating whether and which DOAC should be used and why
- To ensure that a patient in your care who has been placed on a DOAC is not exposed to a heightened bleeding risk due to other co-morbidities and medication
- To prescribe DOACs at appropriate doses for your patient embarking on long-distance travel
- How cost-effective DOACs have become in the South African situation, providing easier anticoagulation than warfarin
