- Title
Perioperative management of patients on warfarin and the new oral anticoagulants.
- Authors
Hatton-Wyatt, Emily; Pruchniewicz, Jason
- Abstract
Correct management of a patient's anticoagulation during the perioperative period is of great importance. Surgery causes hypercoagulability and most patients are at increased risk of venous thromboembolism. Interruption of anticoagulation increases this risk further and must be balanced against the risk of surgical bleeding.
