He was started on Rivaroxaban Dabigatran not used due to AKI and not the best for those
with CAD due to increased risk of MI compared to warfarin
Rivaroxaban is once daily dosing vs apixaban is twice daily
Edoxaban was not available
Three days later, presented with a near syncopal event. Found to have a large Pulmonary Embolism (PE)
thought to be due to his subtherapeutic INRs while on Warfarin
Case 1
Rivaroxaban, Apixaban No bridging required (onset similar to enoxaparin) Higher dose for first 21 days with Rivaroxaban
15mg PO BID x 21 days Then 20 mg daily
Higher dose for first 7 days with Apixaban 10mg PO BID x 7 days Then 5mg BID

15
Bridging recommended ONLY for VERY HIGH or HIGH risk patients CHADS2 score of 5-6 or CHADS-Vasc >/=6
Moderate risk patients-consider risk vs benefit Individual patient and surgery-related criteria
If patient is on Warfarin, bridging medication of choice is Enoxaparin (Lovenox)
Generally: Stop Warfarin 5 days prior to procedure
INR day prior to procedure to ensure </=1.5

Current Recommendations for Pre-Operative Bridging in A Fib
10/19/2016
16
Enoxaparin 1 mg/kg twice daily
Enoxaparin 40 mg twice daily
Enoxaparin 40 mg once daily
What dose of Enoxaparin do you use to bridge?
Data not available, so use clinical judgment
Therapeutic dose (Enoxaparin 1 mg/kg BID, 1.5 mg/kg daily)-
Arterial thromboembolic source (a fib, mechanical heart valve) or
VTE within 1 month
Intermediate dose (Enoxaparin 40 mg BID)- A fib or VTE within preceding month when bridging is needed, but
concerns for bleeding are greater
Prophylactic dose (Enoxaparin 40 mg daily)- Typically not used for bridging in A fib,
May be used in those with VTE event within past 2-3 months.

LMWH and Renal Adjustment
10/19/2016
18
Increased bleeding risk noted… (Arch Intern Med. 2012;172(22):1713-1718)
Those with moderate renal function (CrCl 30-50mg) had an increased rate of major bleeding 22% vs 5.7% in in 164 patients. Greater accumulation with no dose adjustment
Options to consider: 1.5mg/kg/QD vs 1mg/kg/BID (Thromb Res. 2005;116(1):41-50.)
100 kg patient 150 mg vs 200mg per day, less enoxaparin
Rounding down to next lowest via size 90 kg patient using 1mg/kg BID, use 80mg SQ BID instead of
100mg
Using a lower dose per kg after first dose (0.8 mg/kg)
Enoxaparin in CrCl 30-50 ml/min
Guidance for the practical management of the heparin anticoagulants in the treatment of venous thromboembolism. J Thromb Thrombolysis. 2016; 41: 165–186.
Start LMWH 3 days prior to surgery (2 days after stopping Warfarin)
Stop LMWH 24 hours prior to surgery If BID dosing-OMIT evening dose on the night prior to
surgery
If DAILY dosing-give ½ dose the morning prior to surgery

2 hours following surgery
12 hours following surgery
24 hours following surgery
48 hours following surgery
Following her total hip arthroplasty, when do you recommend restarting LMWH?
10/19/2016
21
It depends on…. Adequate hemostasis
Expected post-op bleeding
Surgical site
Generally-if you are using therapeutic doses, waiting over 24 hours is recommended
Discuss with surgeon!
Note: Generally safe to restart Warfarin the evening of surgery

Despite hype, no great new agents for inpatient use.
Kayexalate is probably used too often Effectiveness questioned
More potential for harm that once thought
What to do? Consider greater diuretic (or lactulose) use when feasible
Avoid the “Kayexalate reflex”
Hyperkalemia Summary
A 58 year old gentleman with hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and T2DM presents with pancreatitis. He is held NPO except meds, given IV fluids, and pain medications. While hospitalized, he is noted to have increased BPs. He is continued on his home medications for hypertension (lisinopril, metoprolol).
On day 3, his BP is 190/90 and nursing calls for an order. He is asymptomatic.
Case 4
10/19/2016
29
IV hydralazine
IV labetalol
IV clonidine
No treatment
How do you respond to the nurse regarding the asymptomatic hypertension?
10/19/2016
30
Published data do not show improvement of short or long-term outcome with aggressive treatment of asymptomatic HTN
Lipari et al study from March 2016: Retrospective, pts receiving at least 1 dose of IV hydralazine,
enalaprilat, labetalol, metoprolol
Adverse outcome: >/=25% decrease in BP w/i 6 hrs
Lipari M et al. As-needed intravenous antihypertensive therapy and blood pressure control. J Hosp Med. 2016 Mar; 11(3)193-8.
Inpatient Asymptomatic HTN
Who Placed the Orders: Medical residents-49%, Attendings 16%, APPs 35%
Medications used: Hydralazine 80.1%, B-blockers 15.6%
Criteria: 84.5% has SBP threshold<180
Only 52% of pts had PO regimen intensified following IV administration
Adverse events: 32.6% Greater than 25% reduction of BP, 4.4% of hydralazine group had HR>20 bpm increase, 1 labetalol pt had bradycardia
Lipari M et al. As-needed intravenous antihypertensive therapy and blood pressure control. J Hosp Med. 2016 Mar; 11(3)193-8.
Analysis
10/19/2016
31
Lack of data to recommend IV anti-hypertensive medications in asymptomatic HTN
Even in HTN urgency, oral medication is preferred
Overzealous BP lowering can be devastating Induced hypotension leading to target-organ ischemia
Other considerations: IV meds much more costly than PO, increased monitoring when giving IV meds
Conclusions
75 YOF presents to hospital with femur fracture
Also complains of foul smelling urine with dysuria
Past medical history is significant for: COPD
Obesity (BMI 31)
Depression
Poor mobility s/p knee replacement
Allergies: Penicillin (Hives) and Macrobid (Anaphylactic)
