Resumen de Warfarin and anticoagulant rodenticides

Sally Bradberry, Allister Vale

• Substantial ingestion of an anticoagulant can result in haemorrhage into any internal organ; severe blood loss can result in hypovolaemic shock, coma and death. If active major bleeding occurs, dried prothrombin complex 25–50 units/kg and phytomenadione 10–20 milligrams intravenously (250 micrograms/kg body weight for a child) should be given.
