Perioperative management of patients receiving anticoagulants
WEBFeb 8, 2024 · If the patient bleeds from the procedure, their anticoagulant may need to be discontinued for a longer period, resulting in a longer period of increased thromboembolic risk. Overall, the aim of periprocedural anticoagulant management is to minimize the risk of both thromboembolism and bleeding.
WEBABSTRACT. Chronic oral anticoagulation frequently requires interruption for various reasons and durations. Whether or not to bridge with heparin or other anticoagulants is a common clinical dilemma. The evidence to inform decision making is limited, making current guidelines equivocal and imprecise.

WEBAug 11, 2022 · We define “heparin bridging” as the administration of a short-acting anticoagulant, typically a low-molecular-weight heparin (LMWH) or, less often, unfractionated heparin (UFH), for an 8- to 10-day perioperative period during interruption of a VKA when the international normalized ratio (INR) is …
Periprocedural Bridging Management of Anticoagulation
WEBJul 24, 2012 · Bridging therapy is a recent term used to describe the application of a parenteral, short-acting anticoagulant during the interruption of warfarin. In this Clinician Update, we outline a systematic approach to defining the appropriate periprocedural strategy for anticoagulation management.
WEBDEFINITIONS: Bridging: The use of a(n) subcutaneous or intravenous anticoagulant for a period of time during interruption of warfarin therapy and/or when the INR is not within a therapeutic range.
