    AbstractThe new direct-acting oral anticoagulants (ACOD) in patients on prolonged treatment require the need to balance the risk of haemorrhage by administering them against the risk of thrombosis on withdrawing them. Recommendations for their management are proposed in the present article: A) Thromboprophylaxis and general anaesthesia: the performing of regional anaesthesia if administered with an ACOD as thromboprophylaxis requires some safety intervals based on their pharmacokinetic parameters; B) Management of ACOD in elective surgery: in patients with normal renal function and a low haemorrhage/thrombosis risk, stop the ACOD two days before the surgery; it the haemorrhage/thrombosis risk is high and/or renal function is impaired, therapy with a low molecular weight heparin is proposed from 5 days prior to the surgery, and C) Management of ACOD in urgent surgery and associated haemorrhage: the systematic prophylactic administration of haemostatics is recommended. In the event of acute bleeding that may place the life of the patient at risk (due to volume or location), the administration of concentrated prothrombin complex, fresh plasma, or factor VIIa, must be assessed, together with general control measures of acute haemorrhage. These recommendations should be considered in the context of the use drugs that do have a specific antidote, where their monitoring by the usual coagulation tests is not routine, and with those in which there is limited experience. We believe they need to be reviewed in the future, depending on further studies and clinical experience obtained.Copyright © 2011 Sociedad Española de Anestesiología, Reanimación y Terapéutica del Dolor.
