A review of the perioperative management of direct oral anticoagulants for pediatric anesthesiologists.

This work presents a focused review for pediatric anesthesiologists on clinically available DOACs, perioperative monitoring and management of DOACs, as well as options and indications for reversal. While consensus expert practice guidelines are still needed, we hope this work will familiarize perioperative physicians with these agents, recommended uses, and potential perioperative management.
