Thrombin generation remains reduced 12 hours after DOAC intake. While thrombin peak is particularly modified by factor Xa inhibitors, all DOACs prolong the lag time and time to thrombin peak. In the setting of bleeding or urgent surgery, the automated thrombin generation assay may assist in decision making and antidote administration.
