Tomo Riba Institute of Health and Medical DOI: https://doi.org/10.22271/ortho.2020.v6.i3b.2183 Sciences (TRIHMS), Arunachal Pradesh, India Abstract Background: Introduction: Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is a successful surgical procedure for reducing Dr. Moji Jini pain and improving physical function in osteoarthritis. It is one of the most effective orthopaedic Director, Tomo Riba Institute of procedures. Health and Medical Sciences, Material and methods: Patients were eligible for the study if they were aged 18 years or older and were Arunachal Pradesh, India scheduled for total hip arthroplasty. Patients were ineligible if they were scheduled to undergo staged, bilateral hip arthroplasty were pregnant or breastfeeding, had active bleeding or a high risk of bleeding, or any disorder contraindicating the use of Rivaroxaban/enoxaparin that might necessitate enoxaparin dose adjustment. Results: Of the 52 patients enrolled in study, 52 patients were randomized to receive either Rivaroxaban (n=26) or enoxaparin (n=26). The baseline demographic characteristics of the two randomized treatment groups are well balanced as described in Table 1. The surgical characteristics are described in Table 2. Conclusion: Rivaroxaban, given as a once-daily 10 mg fixed dose 6–8 h postoperatively, is the first new oral anticoagulant to significantly reduce the incidence of venous thromboembolism after total knee arthroplasty, compared with enoxaparin 30 mg twice daily, starting 12–24 h postoperatively, without a significant difference in the risk of major or clinically relevant bleeding.

  • The Management of Anticoagulants Using the Chart: – Low Molecular Weight Heparins (I.E
    WA Adult Anticoagulation Medication Chart Overview This presentation will provide an overview of: • The layout of the WA Anticoagulation Medication Chart (WA AMC) • The management of anticoagulants using the chart: – Low Molecular Weight Heparins (i.e. enoxaparin) – Unfractionated heparin (UFH) – Warfarin – Direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) Anticoagulants – High Risk Medications • Anticoagulants are consistently identified as causing preventable harm to patients. • Top 20 medications involved in medication errors (July 2016 - June 2017) 1. Paracetamol 11. Buprenorphine 2. Enoxaparin 12. Targin (Oxycodone / naloxone) 3. Novorapid Insulin 13. Warfarin 4. Tramadol 14. Diazepam 5. Heparin 15. Tapentadol 6. Fentanyl 16. Metformin 7. Piperacillin & Tazobactam 17. Clonazepam 8. Oxycodone 18. Frusemide 9. Lantus Insulin 19. Hydromorphone 10. Vancomycin 20. Quetiapine • When used in error or omitted, they can cause life-threatening or fatal bleeding or thrombosis. Those most commonly prescribed anticoagulants are: –unfractionated heparin –low-molecular weight heparin (LMWH) • enoxaparin sodium (Clexane®) • dalteparin sodium (Fragmin®) and – warfarin. Direct oral anticoagulants are also available and are being prescribed more frequently: –dabigatran (Pradaxa®) –rivaroxaban (Xarelto®) –apixaban (Eliquis®). Factors that increase the potential for error and harm include: • Low margin for error – over-dose → bleeding – under-dose or omission → thrombosis • Wide variation in individual patient response – multiple indications – wide range and complexity of dosage – frequent dose adjustment/monitoring – interaction with other medicines, herbals, over-the-counter products, food and alcohol. Benefits of the WA Anticoagulant Medication Chart • Provides one chart for all anticoagulant prescriptions to reduce the risk of duplicate prescribing. • Point of care guidelines for initiation, monitoring and reversal of anticoagulants. • Enables the effective achievement of therapeutic levels.
