Anticoagulant reversal is critical in life-threatening bleeding or emergent surgery. Each anticoagulant class has specific reversal strategies. Protamine sulfate reverses unfractionated heparin by forming an inactive complex with heparin, neutralizing its anticoagulant effect (1 mg protamine per 100 units UFH given in the past 2-3 hours). For LMWH, protamine provides only partial reversal (approximately 60% of anti-Xa activity) because it cannot neutralize the anti-Xa component effectively. Vitamin K (phytonadione) reverses warfarin by providing the substrate for hepatic synthesis of vitamin K-dependent clotting factors (II, VII, IX, X). Oral vitamin K takes 24-48 hours for effect; IV vitamin K works in 6-8 hours. For immediate warfarin reversal, 4-factor prothrombin complex concentrate (4F-PCC, Kcentra) provides factors II, VII, IX, and X directly, correcting INR within 15-30 minutes. Idarucizumab (Praxbind) is a monoclonal antibody fragment that specifically binds and neutralizes dabigatran within minutes. Andexanet alfa (Andexxa) is a recombinant modified Factor Xa decoy protein that binds and sequesters Factor Xa inhibitors (rivaroxaban, apixaban), reversing their anticoagulant effect. Heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) is an immune-mediated prothrombotic disorder caused by IgG antibodies against the heparin-platelet factor...
