Description

Background

Problem Statement:

  • No current guideline or protocol for AC/AP resumption in neurosurgical spine patients at TJUH
  • There is difficulty in providing consistent perioperative anticoagulation recommendations to patients, as there remains no widely accepted, definitive literature of evidence or guidelines (Louie et al, 2020)

Project Aims:

  • To determine standardized protocol for resuming antiplatelet/anticoagulation therapy following lumbar surgery
  • To reduce combined postoperative cardiac/cerebrovascular/thrombotic events, and post-operative hematomas
