Even though you are not eating, you may be able to take your routine morning medications with a small sip of water. Anticlotting (Blood Thinning) Medications

American Academy of Ophthalmology Revised May 2019 This information is published to educate you about preparing for your surgical procedures. It is not intended to take the place of a discussion with a qualified surgeon who is familiar with your situation. It is important to remember that each individual is different, and the reasons and outcomes of any operation depend upon the patient’s individual condition. The American College of Surgeons is a scientific and educational organization that is dedicated to the ethical and competent practice of surgery; it was founded to raise the standards of surgical practice and to improve the quality of care for the surgical patient. The ACS has endeavored to present information for prospective surgical patients based on current scientific information; there is no warranty on the timeliness, accuracy, or usefulness of this content. Should enoxaparin be stopped before surgery?Enoxaparin treatment also must be stopped shortly before surgery, but because its effect does not last as long as that of warfarin, it can be stopped a shorter time before surgery. Common practice is to give the last dose of twice-daily enoxaparin the evening before surgery.
When Should anticoagulants be discontinued before surgery?Interruption of the new oral anticoagulants before surgery
In surgical procedures with a greater risk of bleeding (eg, neurosurgery, cardiovascular surgery), or with spinal anesthesia, consideration should be given to stopping the drug 2-4 days before the procedure.
Do you stop heparin before surgery?Heparin is discontinued 6-12 hours before surgery and restarted at 200-400 U/h at 4-6 hours after surgery.
Why do you stop apixaban before surgery?Why is anticoagulation stopped for surgery or a procedure? Anticoagulants thin the blood and increase the risk of bleeding. Surgery and procedures also have a bleeding risk and so anticoagulation may need to be stopped for a short period to ensure they can be carried out safely.
