One of our most popular CE collections is Anticoagulant Medications. Since our members and readers have expressed such an interest in this topic, I want to share some other good resources about these medications, specifically dabigatran. The articles below are from Emergency Medicine News, a journal geared to Emergency Department physicians, but often read and appreciated by many nurses and nurse practitioners. Don’t you just love interdisciplinary collaboration? 

• InFocus: Dabigatran's Potential to Replace Warfarin
• Journal Scan: Patients with Dabigatran Bleeding Fare Better than Those on Warfarin
• Journal Scan: Managing Minor Head Trauma in Patients Taking Warfarin or Clopidogrel
• Toxicology Rounds: Dabigatran Toxicity: The Top 10 Questions

I encourage you to peruse this journal for more good content on emergency department care and issues. There is also a blog, The Procedural Pause, authored by renowned emergency physician James R. Roberts, MD, and his daughter, Martha Roberts, ACNP, CEN. There are some incredible photographs included! Enjoy!
