Anticoagulation


Today we will finish our discussion with a very controversial topic: when to pull epidural catheters in patients receiving warfarin or Low Molecular Weight Heparin (LMWH) prophylaxis.

  1. Does it really matter when you remove the epidural catheter in an anticoagulated patient?
  2. Are there any guidelines for the removal of epidural catheters in anticoagulated patients?
