Perioperative management of anticoagulants has become routine for anesthesiologists.
•
Bleeding and thrombotic risks should be balanced when deciding upon management.
•
Warfarin is usually stopped 5-7 days prior for procedures with high bleeding risk.
•
Bridging should be considered for patients on warfarin at high thrombotic risk.
•
Novel anticoagulants can be stopped close to the procedure usually without bridging.
