19
Q

When should an anticoagulation be interrupted?

A

Intermediate high surgical bleeding risk

20
Q

What does interrupt therapy mean?

A

Limit the period without anticoagulation to the shortest possible interval

  • especially thromboembolic risk is high
  • if high risk of thromboembolism is transient within 1 mth
21
Q

When do you consider interruption?

A

Low surgical bleeding risk AND presence of pt related bleeding factors

22
Q

When do you not interrupt anticoagulation?

A

Low bleeding risk surgery AND absence of pt related bleeding factors

23
Q

Discontinue >5 days before procedure depending on current INR, time to procedure; and desired INR for procedure; recheck INR 24 hrs before procedure

A

Supratherapeutic INR measure 5-7 days prior to procedure

24
Q

Discontinue 5 days before procedure depending on current INR, time to procedure and desired INR for procedure; recheck INR 24 hrs before procedure

A

Goal level of INR (2-3)

25
Q

Discontinue 3-4 days before procedure; recheck INR 24 hrs before procedure if a normal INR is desired

A

Subtherapeutic level for INR

26
Q

When considering parenteral bridging, if taking a direct oral anticoagulant (DOAC) is there a bridging needed?

A

NO

27
Q

What are the 3 parental agents for bridging?

A
  1. UFH
  2. LMWH
  3. Non heparin anticoagulant needed for HIT
28
Q

When do you start parenteral bridging?

A

INR <2

29
Q

When do you discontinue UFH?

A

4 hrs before procedure

30
Q

When do you discontinue LMWH?

A

24 hrs before procedure

31
Q

When to restart warfarin and when do you get anticoagulant effect?

A

Restart 12-24 hrs post op

2-3 days for effect

32
Q

If pt received parenteral bridge, start LMWH or UFH when for low and high bleeding risk and when should you discontinue LMWH or UFH?
