Wonderful interview with a wonderful clinician and professor! I had the privilege of having Dr. Bowers as a professor at Duke as an FNP student 💙😈#BlueDevilFNP
This was a wonderful and informative podcast~ her diuretic PEARL invaluable, now I have another tx option , other than doubling up. And I am going to sign up for that CME she referred to , luv it ❤
I am not aware of a quick reference. My personal go to the UpToDate as they give anticoagulation specific guidance in relation to pre-operative management.
I have a question about the warfarin titration example. If INR is low from diet, drugs, drinking or missed doses and you decide to add that half tab for two nights, do you go back to their regular 5mg/d dose after INR is normal a few days later?
There are multiple factors that must be consider in titrating warfarin. If the low INR is related to drugs or drinking a goal would be to moderate this modifiable factors as opposed to dosing change.

Is there a quick reference for when and how long to hold anticoagulation and when to use Lovenox, around a procedure?
