The app addresses such common questions as:
•how long do I treat with Warfarin after a first DVT?
•which artificial heart valves require that higher level of anticoagulation?
•how do I respond to an INR of 7.4?
•this pt needs Warfarin, how do I get it started?
•how long do I anticoagulate with Warfarin for A-fib before a planned cardioversion attempt?
•when do I give Vitamin K to reverse Warfarin anticoagulation and at what dose??
This app is written and intended for practicing clinicians involved in Warfarin anticoagulation such as internists, cardiologists, family physicians, nurses, pharmacists, PA's and NP's; for resident physician trainees; and for medical students. As an educator and clinician, I am interested in feedback and I would be grateful for guidance on improving the tool.
I guess I should have looked into it a bit more before getting app. All very easily found information. INR range for Mechanical Mitral Valve is incorrect. It changed from 2.5-3.5 to 3.0-3.5 in early 2014, or before. Working off the incorrect range, when looking at adjusting the dosage, it suggests a 5% - 10% dosage increase if my INR is as low as 1.5! That makes no sense.
Very nice and simple! I can't wait to use this in my job. This has always been a subject that I struggle with, so I am grateful to have a FREE program that I can use to help!
I have a mechanical mitral valve and this is a nice reference for understanding warfarin doses with an ever changing INR. Thanks for the effort.
Another fabulous reference app! I also use his apps for ABGs and pneumonia. Very quick, to the point app. All of his apps compliment my critical thinking skills as I work towards my Nurse Practitioner certification. I would love to see a heparin app as well.
Provides references to national guidelines/recs and easy to use.
