Engaging rounds today by Dr. Mike Little and Dr. Asim Iqbal @Dr_Asim_Iqbal exploring two different and very important topics!👍👍👍 We all learned so much! @VCHhealthcare

“DOACs and Expedited Hip Fracture Care”
-Dr. Mike Little

“Physician Wellbeing”
-Dr. Asim Iqbal

[Vancouver Acute Department of Anesthesiology @VGHAnesthesia]

“DOACs and Expedited Hip Fracture Care”
-prioritize surgical intervention within 48hrs for hip fracture rather than wait for DOAC resolution
-no compelling evidence for neuraxial over general anesthesia at this time, further results pending
