title: [Locoregional anesthesia and coagulation inhibitors. Recommendations of the Task Force on Perioperative Coagulation of the Austrian Society for Anesthesiology and Intensive Care Medicine].
abstract: More efficacious anticoagulant and antiplatelet agents have been introduced in vascular medicine and in the prevention of perioperative venous thromboembolisms. Patient management should be guided by familiarity with the pharmacology of coagulation-altering drugs and by consensus statements. The present paper reviews recommendations from the Austrian Task Force for Perioperative Coagulation which are based on thorough evaluation of the available pharmacological information and case reports. The consensus statement focuses on neuraxial and peripheral techniques and is designed to encourage safe and quality patient care.
