Patients requiring non-emergent reversal of warfarin can often be treated with vitamin K or by discontinuing the warfarin therapy. Prothrombin complex concentrates should only be used for patients with serious bleeding or for those who need urgent surgery. Plasma should only be used in this setting if prothrombin complex concentrates are not available or are contraindicated.
