It lasted about 4 minutes.
Thoughts ?
possible alteration in clotting parameters must be considered.
Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to Ask A Doctor services.
I have read your query and here is my advise.
* As per my surgical experience, when the consumption of Rivaroxaban ( Xarelto ) is
going on and there is spray of blood from ankle, possible alteration in clotting
parameters must be addressed.
Kindly provide me further details so that I can answer your query completely.
1. Swelling - extent, any overlying skin changes in form of warmth, color ?
2. Any punctate wound visible over the area ?
Till that time, ice pack application and elevation of the concerned leg over 2-3 pillows would be best initial measure.
Awaiting for your response.
Regards.
