Article Synopsis
- Patients on warfarin who have a minor head injury may be in danger of bleeding inside their heads, so doctors looked at how to manage them after a CT scan.
- They watched 97 patients for 24 hours and gave them a second CT scan to check for new bleeding.
- The study found that if the first scan was clear, most patients did fine, but if their blood test called the international normalized ratio was high (over 3.0), they were more likely to have delayed bleeding.
