Review of Direct Oral Anti-Coagulants (DOACs) and Warfarin Reversal in Trauma Patients

Start date
End date

Just prior to the start of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, this group was mandated by the London Major Trauma Steering Group with the task of 

1) identifying if all trauma units (TU) had reversal guidelines for anticoagulation, particularly for the DOACs.

2) to assess if the guidance’s were being followed.

The report outlines the findings of the original survey, pilot study and the results of the audit undertaken between January-March 2022.

The Major Trauma Steering Group will be putting together some recommendations for the London Trauma Networks based on this report in due course.
