Today, we're going to change gears.

No case today and no systematic review.

Instead, I want to review anticoagulation pharmacology...any medication that inhibits one or more steps of that coagulation cascade.

We're going to review the new and old agents, including:

• Mechanism of action
• Indications
• Precautions
• Adverse effects
• Monitoring
• Dosing

We'll also quickly review and simplify the intrinsic and extrinsic pathways.

Next week, we'll touch on what to do when things get ugly and need to reverse these medications.
