Krenzelok E, Patients presenting to the emergency department should be stabilized, if necessary. A thorough history and physical examination are usually sufficient to diagnose most poisonings in children. Experience with neuraxial blockade is limited and extreme caution is therefore recommended when using apixaban in this setting (see P.I.) N Engl J Med 2011, 365: 883-891.

The number of adults 65 years and older is expected to double to approximately 84 million by 2050, which will substantially increase the number of ED visits in this population (1,4). SHOBHA RAO, MD, is an associate professor of family medicine at the University of Texas Southwestern Family Medicine Residency Program. Utility of comprehensive toxicologic screens in children. Oral poisonings: guidelines for initial evaluation and treatment. Apixaban is contraindicated in patients who are receiving concomitant treatment with strong inhibitors of both CYP3A4 and P-gp, however no dose adjustment for apixaban is required when co-administered with less potent inhibitors. Bar-Oz B, 8. Article  Clin Pharmacol: Advances and Applications 2013, 5: 59-66. Symptomatic patients should receive ambulance transport to the emergency department.2–5 If there is no hospital nearby, the patient should be transported to the physician’s office. Repeated instances of unintentional poisonings within one family should prompt a discussion about preventive measures, as well as a closer look at the caregiver situation and the possibility of child abuse or neglect. If intravenous access is difficult, 1.0 mg of intramuscular glucagon (Glucagen) may be given as a temporizing measure.3, An ECG should be obtained in patients who have ingested cardiotoxic medications (e.g., antidepressants, digoxin, calcium channel blockers, beta blockers, antiarrhythmics) or other potent medications. The use of activated charcoal to reduce absorption in case of Xarelto overdose may be considered. AF is the leading preventable cause of ischaemic stroke, and strokes due to AF have a higher mortality and morbidity. DeAngelis C. Planning for elective surgery or invasive procedures should involve balancing the intervention-associated bleeding risk and thrombotic risk associated with anticoagulant interruption in each individual. Apixaban was associated with less major bleeding compared with warfarin for three methods of glomerular filtration rate estimation (Cockcroft–Gault, Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration and cystatin C) and stroke or systemic embolism occurred less frequently in patients assigned to apixaban than warfarin, regardless of renal function [15]. 10.1016/j.ijcard.2013.07.152. AF is the leading preventable cause of ischaemic stroke, and strokes due to AF have a higher mortality and morbidity. A dose of 1 to 2 g per kg is recommended for children with ingestions of an unknown quantity. Pediatr Ann. In a rabbit model of apixaban-induced bleeding, neither rFVIIa nor PCC reduced blood loss from a standardised hepatosplenic injury, although rFVIIa did reverse prolongation of the prothrombin time and shortened skin bleeding time [22]. *— May not be beneficial if given more than one hour after ingestion. Pediatric toxicology. Simon HK, Table 1 includes dosing information for medications used in the emergency stabilization of children who have ingested toxins.2,8 Patients with continued symptoms may require hospital admission for supportive care with monitoring, symptom relief, and hydration. No dose adjustment for apixaban is required when this is co-administered with less potent inhibitors of CYP3A4 and/or P-gp [5] such as diltiazem, naproxen, amiodarone, verapamil, clarithromycin or quinidine. Van Eyk J, 1995;274(7):562–569. Woolf A, When converting from apixaban to warfarin, continue apixaban for 48 hours after the first dose of warfarin. In stable patients, apixaban has a predictable half-life of 8-12 hours, which leaves residual activity of up to 50% at 12 hours and less than 25% at 24-hours after drug cessation [4].

In the ARISTOTLE study of apixaban in patients with atrial fibrillation, annual major bleeding events for apixaban compared to warfarin were 2.13% per year versus 3.09% per year (p < 0.001). Dr. Rao received her medical degree from Sri Venkateswara Medical College in India. Management of toxic exposure in children. Physicians should know the phone number of the poison control center, understand the appropriate initial assessment of suspected toxin ingestion, and recognize important toxidromes. Gastric decontamination, such as activated charcoal and gastric lavage, are no longer routinely recommended. These ingestions usually involve more than one substance and are more often fatal than unintentional ingestion.1 Intentional ingestion should prompt rapid consultation with a poison control center and ambulance transport to the emergency department. Family physicians often manage substance ingestions in children, most of which are nontoxic in nature. Cardiac monitoring should be continued if any abnormalities are noted or suspected.2 Pulse oximetry is helpful in assessing all patients, but especially those with impaired mental or respiratory status. The concomitant use of apixaban with anti-platelet agents increases the risk of bleeding [7]. Adapted with permission from Barry JD.
