The Reversing Warfarin app is to help doctors manage patients taking warfarin
The Reversing Warfarin App is designed for doctors to help them manage patients on the anticoagulant warfarin. It will be useful to anaesthetists, emergency specialists, surgeons, general practitioners, cardiologists and haematologists. In fact most clinicians will at some time have patients on anticoagulants and would find this App helpful.
The Reversing Warfarin App will help you
• Manage patients with an elevated INR result
• Provide safe advice to rapidly reverse the INR if bleeding occurs.
• Develop an appropriate treatment protocol around elective surgery
• Immediately reverse warfarin prior to emergency surgery

Features of the Reversing Warfarin App
An elevated INR
Simply enter the INR result and get immediate advice about dose reduction and vitamin K dosage if necessary.
Managing bleeding
Bleeding is a potential problem with any anticoagulant and can be complex to manage. With the Reversing Warfarin App you simply enter the INR result, your patient’s weight and the severity of the bleed and get immediate advice including the dose of Prothrombinex-VF and vitamin K.
Managing surgery
Doctors are frequently faced with managing patients on warfarin going for surgery. The Reversing Warfarin App enables you to develop an appropriate protocol for your patient. For elective surgery cases the App takes you through a series of questions to assess the thrombosis and bleeding risk, and then recommends the most appropriate protocol.
For emergency surgery the app provides advice to immediately reverse warfarin to a safe level for surgery and again allows you to print out a protocol.
The settings allow you to select various low molecular weight heparins so you can personalise the protocol to meet your practice.
