Why Attend
## From evidence to action
This masterclass brings Canadian evidence, practical algorithms, peer experience, and case-based discussion together to help clinicians apply current approaches in practice.
Participants will explore:
- Practical aspects of implementing the new cardiac surgery bleeding algorithms, using both point-of-care and laboratory-based testing.
- The role of allogeneic blood products (ABPs) in bleed events requiring coagulopathic management.
- The role of 4F-PCC in DOAC bleed management: Canadian consensus and what it means for the ER, community hospitals and surgical setting.
- Practical strategies for overcoming local implementation barriers

Emergency Department Surgical / perioperative Community / outpatient We do not currently use 4F-PCC for DOAC hemostatic rebalancing at our site
How would you describe your site's current protocol for DOAC bleed management with 4F-PCC? \*
Established protocol based on current guidelines Protocol exists but may need updating No formal protocol Not sure
What would be most valuable to help improve DOAC bleed management at your site? \*
A simple algorithm Order set template Case-based education Guideline summary No improvement required Other (please specify)

Please share details
### New Indication in the Octaplex Product Monograph
Health Canada approved a new Octaplex indication on August 13, 2026: treatment of bleeding in acquired deficiency of prothrombin complex coagulation factors, such as deficiency that occurs during cardiac surgery. The Octaplex dose is 2,000 IU for patients over 60 kg and 1,500 IU for patients at or below 60 kg, repeatable once.
See the current [Product Monograph](https://www.octapharma.ca/api/download/x/49e2d6173c/octaplex_en_aug-13-2026.pdf) for full prescribing information.
Have you updated your institutional protocol for this indication? \*
Yes Not yet I’d like more information from Octapharma Our protocol already reflects this information
Does your site currently use, or plan to use, point-of-care (PoC) coagulation testing to guide Octaplex dosing in the OR? \*
Yes, currently use PoC-guided dosing Not yet, but planning to Not planning to change Not sure / need more information
Do your protocols take a personalized bleeding management approach using laboratory testing?
Yes Not yet, but planning to No, and not planning to change Not sure / need more information
