Please Note: Continuing education credit is only available to those attending the session live. CE credit is not available when accessing the program on demand.

Hemostatic agents remain an attractive therapeutic option for the prevention of hematoma expansion in patients presenting with spontaneous intracranial hemorrhage. Studies to date have failed to demonstrate a clear benefit on functional outcomes and mortality in patients who receive a hemostatic agent for the prevention of hematoma expansion. Current evidence suggests the benefit of hemostatic agents may be confined to specific subgroups of patients when administered in the appropriate time interval. This session will focus on the use of factor VIIa and tranexamic acid for the prevention of hematoma expansion in patients presenting with spontaneous intracranial hemorrhage. Clinical presentation, epidemiology, risk factors for intracranial hemorrhage, pathophysiology and
current guideline statements for the assessment and treatment of intracranial hemorrhage will be discussed.

Learning Objectives for Pharmacists  |  At the end of this session, participants should be able to:

  1. Assess current guidelines and identify any changes from former recommendations
  2. Analyze the efficacy of DOACs in HIT, as well as if any particular DOAC is preferred
  3. Describe patient populations that may benefit DOAC therapy in HIT, as well as patients in which DOACs may not be optimal
