The information on the Factor Xa inhibitors is appreciated. This is the newest generation of anti-coagulants that we are using in the acute care setting.

I learned that the newer anticoagulants are much safer than Warfarin, however, more research is needed to determine how safe they are with continued long term usage.

Great article, eye opener. The problem remains, cost. It is a barrier with patients and no insurance.THANKS

Direct-acting oral anticoagulants are among the most common medications administered by clinical medical-surgical nurses. Proactive measures and targeted patient education should be encouraged to prevent adverse events associated with these drugs. Literature and treatment guidelines reviewed and discussed in this article will provide nurses with additional information on safe administration of DOACs

I found this article to be almost a duplicate of information in "Stroke Prevention in Patients with Atrial Fibrillation" MSNJ2123 Had common authors. Having said that, the information is very easy to comprehend and share.

We administer this to a lot of patients since I work on a telemetry floor. The article is a great refresher course and really emphasizes the need for patient education especially at discharge.
