[Prehospital management of acute coronary syndrome in patients on long-term direct oral anticoagulant treatment].

CONCLUSION: In Germany there is currently a heterogeneous practice of emergency treatment of ACS patients under DOAC therapy with respect to the administration of heparin and ASA. Therefore, guidelines of the specialist medical societies should address the prehospital emergency anticoagulation management of ACS in patients under therapy with DOAC, which correspond to the needs of patients and emergency physicians.
