The 2019 guideline from the Anticoagulation Forum provides clear instructions on how to use 2 agents for reversing the effects of direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs): idarucizumab for dabigatran-associated bleeding and andexanet alfa for bleeding associated with rivaroxaban and apixaban. The guideline also discusses off-label use of andexanet alfa for bleeding associated with edoxaban and betrixaban and the use of hemostatic agents such as activated prothrombin complex concentrate and 4-factor prothrombin complex concentrate. Lastly, it offers approaches for building and managing stewardship programs at the health system level.
