Article Synopsis
- Anticoagulants are commonly used but can cause significant bleeding, leading to ICU admissions, with data showing a rise in such cases from 2007 to 2018, particularly for direct oral anticoagulants.
- A study of 486 ICU patients revealed that most had multiple health issues, were primarily older males, and had a high incidence of severe organ failure and complications upon admission.
- The ICU mortality rate was 27%, and factors like chronic hypertension and the need for vasopressors were linked to increased mortality, highlighting the need for better treatment guidelines and educational efforts.
