Q

ASA - Primary prevention

A

Benefit: harm ratio less clear

Stop 7 days preop, especially if bleeding risk is high

Summary:

No impact for all-cause mortality

Small reductions in non-fatal MI & stroke over 10y

Low-quality evidence for decreased colonCA risk over 20y

Q

High bleeding risk

Ref: Douketis JD UpToDate 2020, Thromb Res 2003(108) 3-13

A
  • Anticipated difficulty in achieving hemostasis mechanically
  • Usually hemorrhagic surgery:
    • Involves highly vascular tissue or large blood vessels
    • brain, lung, kidney, prostate, oncologic, reconstructive sx, vascular, intrauterine & obstetric, arthroplasty, spine
  • Significant consequences of bleeding:
    • Lowers Hgb > 20
    • requires transfusion > 2U or surgery to correct
    • can be fatal

Q

Low bleeding risk - definition

Sié, P & Samama, C et al: French study group Arch Cardiovascular Dis 2011(104), 669-76

A
  • Location non-critical
  • Low volume
  • Easily controlled with mechanical hemostasis
  1. Superficial surgeries (hernia, breast, skin)
  2. Diagnostic procedures (endoscopy)
  3. Minor dental: extraction, incision, simple implant
  4. Optho: cataracts, glaucoma sx

Q

Moderate bleeding risk

Douketis JD UpToDate 2020, Thromb Res

A
  • Involves less vascular tissues or blood vessels of smaller caliber
  • Hemostasis achievable mechanically
  • Consequences of bleeding tolerable & not catastrophic
  1. Intraabdominal: usually less vascular or smaller vessels (chole, appy, gastrectomy)
  2. Opthalmologic sx (excl. cataract)
  3. Orthopedic (excl spine or arthroplasty)
  4. Intrathoracic (excl lung resection)
  5. Vascular: minor or endovascular procedures
  6. Rhythm device insertion
