EMCREG-International is dedicated to research and education in the fields of Emergency Medicine and Acute Care. Since 1989, EMCREG has evolved into an international research and education network boasting 55 members representing 45 international academic researchers institutions, and have enrolled more 40,000 patients in trials, produced 50+ educational CME monographs, and held 35 live educational symposium. Our interests cover research and education in cardiovascular and neurovascular emergencies, neurointensive care, critical care medicine, and all acute care topics. Our focus is not only on education the physicians but all specialties involved in the care of acutely ill patients, including hospitalists, advanced practice providers, nursing and prehospital care as well as emergency physicians.

This is an EMCREG-International Proceedings Monograph based on the two day October 13 & 14, 2020 VIRTUAL EMCREG-International Symposiums titled Optimal Management of the Anticoagulated Patient with Life-Threatening Bleeding in the Emergency Department and Intensive Care Unit: A Case-Based Approach. You will find a detailed discussion regarding the current treatment of critically ill or injured patients with life-threatening bleeding who present to the ED or intensive care unit. This discussion is highlighted by the presentation of cases managed by experts in emergency medicine, critical care medicine, and trauma surgery. For emergency physicians, critical care physicians and hospitalists, the current approach and disease indications for treatment with anticoagulants such as coumadin, Factor IIa, and Factor Xa inhibitors are particularly relevant. When a patient treated with anticoagulants presents to the emergency department, intensive care unit, or operating room with severe, uncontrolled bleeding, the achievement of rapid controlled hemostasis is extremely important to saving the patient’s life.
