Anticoagulation and Antiplatelet Therapy. Anticoagulants and antiplatelets are used for the prevention and treatment of blood clots that occur in blood vessels. Oftentimes, anticoagulants and antiplatelets are referred to as “blood thinners,” but they don’t actually thin the blood at all. These drugs slow down the body’s process of making clots.
Coughing up blood. Heavy periods. Remember for coding, if the patient is taking their medication as prescribed and develops an adverse reaction, such as bleeding, this is coded as an adverse reaction to the prescribed medication and not a poisoning.
These drugs slow down the body’s process of making clots. Their main function is to keep the patient’s blood from clotting or turning into solid clumps of cells. These drugs do this by interfering with either fibrin or platelets in the blood.
The length for taking these medications depends on the reason for needing to start them in the first place. They can prescribed for a few weeks or for the rest of your life. The site of the blood clot (if that is why they are prescribed) also helps to determine the length the medication will be needed.
If the patient has a risk of falls or frequent falls, the decision may be to NOT begin the patient on an anticoagulant or antiplatelet. The chance of increased bleeding is very high in a patient on anticoagulants. Hemorrhage is the most concerning adverse effect of the medication in a patient on anticoagulants.
Anticoagulants do NOT dissolve blood clots. They only help prevent new clots from occurring, or existing clots from enlarging, but they do not aid in dissolving the old clot. The body will dissolve the clot naturally if it can be dissolved.
