@Cait_Centra @kelseyel_ @ThePeoplesRuben I asked for the mean weight in the PCC group and got a mean BMI

@PharmD_intheED Congrats man!

🥵 In ICH 1 mL hematoma expansion = 5% 🔼 in the odds of death or dependence!

A call to action to improve the care of pts with ICH by:
1⃣ Bundled care
2⃣ time-based metrics

An excellent review of the literature in ICH and what we can do moving forward:

@PulmCrit can you help?

[Kerry Ward, PharmD, BCPS, BCCCP, BCEMP @KerryWard10]

So there used to be a dosing rec in Lexi for alteplase in acute hemody. unstable pts that was a 20mg bolus, with the remaining over 2 hours. It is no longer there and I can’t find any references for that dosing strategy? Does anyone know why it was removed/have a ref?

Some of the Anexxa-I results are out. Looks like excellent/good hemostasis was 64% vs 52% with Anexxa vs "usual care" but no difference in 30-day mortality or functional outcomes and higher VTE risk of 10% vs 6%.

Still want the full text....

[Mike Erdman @erdapenum1]

So if you had an anticoagulant reversal medication that stopped hematoma expansion, but had no effect on 30-day outcomes, and had a 4x increased risk of ischemic stroke, would you give it?

1) Welcome to a 🆕#LIVE #accredited #tweetorial posted from #Toronto and #WSC2023, where we have just seen top-line results of #ANNEXa_I, the FIRST randomized comparison between #andexanet_alfa & usual care in pts with anti-#FXa #DOAC-associated #ICH.

[Tara Lech PharmD, CACP @AnticoagPharmD]

Definitely was hoping for more of a wow factor after all the hype.
🤔 NO Difference in mortality or 30d outcomes
⬆️ TE events
-> no surprise AA significantly ⬇️ anti-FXa vs PCC
Would have loved to see a simultaneous publication… still waiting on the details 👀 #ANNEXAi #WSC2023

[Andy Webb @AJWPharm]

A key point in ACLS is that in shockable rhythms, the ⚡ is key to improving outcomes

A knee-jerk reaction in a code is to give epi, but epi before shock in a shockable rhythm WORSENS outcomes

⚡once, then ⚡ again, THEN give epi

Pleasure presenting our working comparing high- vs low-dose 4F-PCC for treating factor Xa-associated ICH. There was no evidence of a difference between 4F-PCC doses for heloststic effectiveness & no VTE events. @UConnPharmacy #ESCCongress #ESC2023

This!

[Kerry Ward, PharmD, BCPS, BCCCP, BCEMP @KerryWard10]

For those that made the switch from alteplase to tenecteplase for AIS, what was the biggest problem that you noticed that you didn’t anticipate? Doing a presentation on this soon and wanted to poll the masses.
