Warfarin 1 of 6WarfarinObjective:To provide an overview of the mechanism of action, dosing regimens and side-effects of warfarin and othervitamin K antagonists.Background:Warfarin is an indirect anticoagulant producing its effect by decreasing the ability of the liver to producefully functional coagulation factors II, VII, IX, and X, as well as the endogenous anticoagulants, protein C andprotein S.Current Clinical Practice Guidelines generally recommend direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) over warfarinfor most patients with venous thromboembolism (VTE) and atrial fibrillation (AF) as DOACs require lessmonitoring, are as effective, and cause similar or less bleeding. However, there are still clinicalcircumstances where warfarin is preferable or indicated. This guide will try to address

Warfarin: Management of Out-of-Range INRs 1 of 7Warfarin: Management ofOut-of-Range INRsObjective:To provide practical strategies supported by the best available evidence for managing out-of-rangeinternational normalized ratios (INRs) for patients on long-term warfarin therapy.Background:1. Warfarin can be challenging to manage due to its narrow therapeutic range, variable dose-responseamong patients and common interactions with drugs, diet, alcohol, and other factors.2. In patients who are taking warfarin, thromboembolic events and bleeding are strongly related to thetime in therapeutic range (TTR). This is the proportion of treatment time that the INR is within thetarget therapeutic range (typically 2.0 to 3.0 or 2.5-3.5 for patients with mechanical mitral valvereplacements).3. Clinicians

Warfarin: Perioperative Management 1 of 8Warfarin: PerioperativeManagementObjective:To provide an approach to the perioperative management of warfarin-treated patients who require anelective or urgent surgery/procedure.To provide an approach for bridging anticoagulation, if needed, during warfarin interruption.Background:Bridging anticoagulation refers to giving a short-acting anticoagulant , typically a low molecular weightheparin (LWMH), before and after surgery or invasive procedure to minimize the time that warfarin-treatedpatients are not anticoagulated. This is different from providing routine thromboprophylaxis in the post-operative setting.Indications for Bridging Anticoagulation:There are no strong evidence-based indications for bridging anticoagulation; bridging is suggested

Warfarin: Point-of-Care INR Monitoring © 2022 Thrombosis Canada Page 1 of 4 WARFARIN: POINT-OF-CARE INR MONITORING OBJECTIVE: To provide an overview of point-of-care (POC) international normalized ratio (INR) monitoring. BACKGROUND: A POC device is a small portable instrument that measures clotting time from a fingerstick blood sample. Most POC devices report the result as an INR. POC INR a separately collected venous sample for laboratory INR testing at defined intervals), the need for test strip refrigeration, and meter portability. HOW ARE POC DEVICES USED? For both adults and children, use of a POC INR device provides a simple and convenient way to manage warfarin anticoagulation in both the office/clinic setting and at home. The POC INR device uses a sample of blood acquired

POC INR devices vary in their ease of use due . This enables timely warfarin doseadjustments and allows prompt attention to INR values that fall outside the target range. INRmeasurements can be performed at a patient’s convenience and the need for laboratory visits can bereduced or eliminated. This convenience may facilitate more frequent INR testing. Furthermore, inrandomized trials comparing POC testing with patient self-management to standard physician

Warfarin You need to be logged in to see the full monograph.LoginUSE OF WARFARIN IN PREGNANCYDate of issue: April 2023, Version: 4A corresponding patient information leaflet on USE OF WARFARIN IN PREGNANCY is available.Warfarin is a coumarin anticoagulant and vitamin K antagonist which acts by inhibiting clotting factors II, VII, IX and X. It is indicated for: the prevention of systemic embolism in patients with rheumatic heart disease and atrial fibrillation, prophylaxis after insertion of mechanical heart valves, prophylaxis and treatment of venous thrombosis and pulmonary embolism, and treatment of transient cerebral ischaemic attacks.Warfarin exposure in the first trimester can lead to an embryopathy known as fetal warfarin syndrome (FWS), characterised by nasal hypoplasia and skeletal
