The coroner's concerns
1. lack of evidence-based protocol for DOAC reversal
“There is a lack of evidence-based protocol for determining when to withhold and/or reverse DOAC, and when to prescribe alternative anticoagulant medication. I heard evidence from clinicians that the lack of such a protocol has led to divergence of practice amongst clinicians.”
