7 Pediatric Supratherapeutic INR Guidelines Bleeding Evaluation Inquire if any signs and symptoms of bleeding are present. o If symptoms of serious bleeding are present, hold warfarin and refer for immediate emergency evaluation. Management in The Bleeding Patient (1) Any INR Action Comment Serious or Life- Threatening Bleeding Hold warfarin Give vitamin K 5 mg IV by slow IV infusion o May be repeated Administer 3-factor prothrombin complex concentrate (PCC) units/kg + Fresh Frozen Plasma (FFP) 10-15mL/kg. Monitor INR every 12 hours. PCC/FFP may be repeated after 6 hours for persistent INR elevation if necessary If PCC unavailable, FFP 10-15mL/kg is an alternative Recombinant Factor VIIa can be considered in highly urgent situations. If no signs or symptoms of serious bleeding are present, the following guideline may be used: INR Management in the non-bleeding patient (2) INR Action Comment Between 4.5 and 10 Greater than 10 Omit one or two doses of warfarin Monitor INR more frequently Resume warfarin at adjusted dose when INR returns to therapeutic range Hold warfarin Give vitamin K mg PO o May be repeated Monitor INR more frequently (e.g. 1-3 days) (give additional vitamin K if necessary) Resume warfarin at an adjusted dose when INR returns to therapeutic range Vitamin K decreases INR faster, but reduced bleeding remains unproven. The decision regarding whether to resume anticoagulation (and if so the timing) must be individualized based upon the patient s clinical circumstances. 1. Streiff MB.
