Hi all,
Members do not see these Ads. Sign Up.
Have a patient who requires a bilateral PNA.
He is a 63 year old male:
Med hx: Meds:
CCF Aldactone (Spironolactone
Dilatrend
Lasix
Zestril
Warfarin Sodium 3 mg m.d.u
AF Digoxin
Hypothyroidism Thyroxine
I mentioned it to him a while ago that he would probably have to speak to his GP about ceasing warfarin in the days before the surgery. He said he spoke to his GP who said he would not need to stop taking it.
I will speak to his GP this week about it but would just like to hear what others have done previously. Should he stop taking warfarin? Is there any contraindications based on his med hx?
Any help would be much appreciated.
Cheers,
James (Melbourne)
