Abstract

Managing perioperative anticoagulation and antiplatelet medication is a daily challenge for anaesthetists. Balancing the risks of surgical bleeding and complications of regional anaesthesia must be weighed against time to theatre and the risk of perioperative thrombotic events. The anaesthetist is particularly concerned about compressive vertebral canal haematomas (VCH) which may occur following spinal, epidural or para-vertebral techniques. There is also concern about bleeding complications following peripheral nerve blockade. This article attempts to put the risk of these complications into context and references key international guidelines on peri-procedural management of the broad range of anticoagulant and antiplatelet medication in current use.

服用抗凝药物患者的区域麻醉

管理围术期抗凝和抗血小板药物是麻醉师每天面临的挑战。在平衡手术出血风险和区域麻醉并发症的同时，还必须权衡手术时间和围术期血栓事件的风险。麻醉师尤其关注脊柱、硬膜外或椎旁技术后可能出现的压迫性椎管血肿（VCH）。外周神经阻滞术后的出血并发症也令人担忧。本文试图说明这些并发症的风险，并参考了目前使用的各种抗凝剂和抗血小板药物围手术期管理的主要国际指南。
