Intravenous #thrombolysis (IVT) may be safe in patients taking direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs)
1. DOACs, including apixaban, dabigatran and rivaroxaban, have emerged as the primary #stroke prevention option in patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation (AF).

2. Every sixth patient with stroke otherwise qualifying for intravenous thrombolysis has a prescription for DOACs. Guidelines recommend the exclusion of patients with recent ingestion of DOACs (within 48 hours previously) from receiving IVT should they have an ischemic stroke.
3. This recommendation to exclude patients on DOACs from receiving IVT is based on the presumption of an increased risk of symptomatic intracranial #hemorrhage (sICH), but data to support or refute this presumption are lacking.
Unfortunately #PulmonaryEmbolism is a common problem in the era of #COVID. Here's a brand new #OnePager summarizing my approach to PE, including hemodynamics, ventilation, #anticoagulation, and #thrombolysis. #FOAMed #FOAMcc

Blood clots are useful – they help us stop bleeding when we have an injury. However, the formation of blood clots within our blood stream (thrombosis) can have disastrous consequences – including death.
Children in hospital are much more likely to have thrombosis occur than healthy children. Childhood thrombosis has been described as the “new epidemic” in hospitals; venous thromboses in children = a 3% mortality rate, & survivors may experience long-term side effects.
