• Oral anticoagulation
• Vitamin K antagonists
• Intracerebral hemorrhage
• Prothrombin complex

The use of oral anticoagulants is increasing, leading to a rise in the number of complications emergency health services must cope with. A review of the literature showed that prothrombin complex is an important therapeutic option when emergency reversion of anticoagulation is required, as it acts more quickly and completely than fresh frozen plasma. In this case report we review the use and indications of prothrombin complex in patients on oral anticoagulants, noting that rapid onset of effect is particularly important in cases of intracerebral hemorrhage.
