ANTICOAGULATION REVERSAL: REAL-WORLD DATA MATTERS, TOO (SPONSORED BY ASTRAZENECA PHARMACEUTICALS)
Salon 1-4

Introduction and assessment of real-world data (RWD) is critically important for FXa inhibitor-related bleeds in treatment-emergent situations, particularly since this crucial information has been limited to date within a complex clinical landscape. Join experts to explore how reversal agents can manage life-threatening bleeds in the presence of anticoagulation and learn how the latest published RWD guide reversal and repletion strategies in anticoagulated patients.

In support of improving patient care, this activity has been planned and implemented by Global Learning Collaborative (GLC) and TotalCME, Inc. GLC is jointly accredited by the American Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME), the Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education (ACPE) and the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC) to provide continuing education for the healthcare team.
This activity was planned by and for the healthcare team, and learners will receive 1.0 Interprofessional Continuing Education (IPCE) credits for learning and change.
