In our study, we relied on this test to show aspirin responsiveness for surgical time. We encountered no preoperative complications and believe ASPI testing is a reliable test as it was confirmed for its accuracy and precision to assess aspirin responsiveness. Our preliminary study has some limitations as the sample size is very small with the surgeries being broad in spectrum. A variety of surgical procedures was included in this study from minor surgery lymph node biopsy to major surgery esophagectomy.
Period of discontinuation or necessity of discontinuation should be discussed separately depending on surgical procedures, degrees of surgical stress or surgical sites, because the risks of bleeding and thrombosis are much different. We will reconsider the selection and grouping of patients in the continuation of the study. Future clinical trials should be conducted with large study groups and with similar types of surgical interventions.
Nevertheless, the results of this study could help to improve the perioperative management of aspirin treated patients and hopefully will lead to larger confirmative studies.

Methods Eighty patients who were taking regular aspirin for secondary prevention undergoing elective surgical operations were enrolled in the study.
Results The mean time between aspirin cessation and aspirin nonresponsiveness were found to be 4. Conclusion Reducing time of aspirin cessation from days to days is a possibility for patients using aspirin for secondary prevention without increased perioperative complications.

Since platelets lack the cellular machinery to produce COX-1, restoration of platelet function depends on generation of new platelets.
This process takes several days. Fast forward again to the current era where aspirin, sometimes in conjunction with clopidogrel, is a mainstay in antiplatelet therapy to prevent thrombosis.
Some patients considered to be at low risk for developing cardiovascular disease take aspirin to prevent new coronary or peripheral vascular thrombosis primary prophylaxis.
Patients with documented vascular disease e. In particular, patients with coronary stents take aspirin as secondary prophylaxis to prevent occlusion of the devices. Furthermore, patients with certain medical conditions diabetes mellitus, congestive heart failure, renal insufficiency are deemed to be at high risk for vascular disease; they also take aspirin as secondary prophylaxis. Concern for increased bleeding led to a generally accepted practice of stopping antiplatelet therapy days before a surgical or invasive procedure.
While surgical bleeding may be increased with ongoing aspirin therapy, the risk of associated hemorrhagic morbidity and mortality remains modest for most procedures. Indeed, there is an enhanced risk of thrombosis with early withdrawal of antiplatelet therapy in medical patients following acute coronary syndromes, cerebrovascular accidents, or the insertion of vascular stents.
In the setting of surgery, with attendant acute procoagulant and proinflammatory consequences, acute withdrawal of aspirin therapy may enhance the likelihood of thrombosis, thereby increasing the risk of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. We lack adequate studies for every procedure in every surgical specialty.
However, except in some specific circumstances, the cardiovascular risk from acute aspirin withdrawal likely outweighs the risk of surgical complications from bleeding. Recent reviews conclude that aspirin should be continued up to the day of surgery for at risk patients, with few exceptions intracranial neurosurgical procedures, intramedullary spine surgery, surgery of the middle ear or posterior eye, and possibly prostate surgery.
Continuation of ASA is not viewed as a contraindication to neuraxial anesthesia. Stopping ASA therapy in secondary prophylaxis patients thus warrants thoughtful consideration in the interests of safe patient care. At our institution, a multidisciplinary group derived a set of guidelines for managing aspirin therapy in the perioperative period. These guidelines, based on the recent literature, are intended to provide the surgeon or procedural physician a conceptual framework to aid decision making about aspirin therapy Box.
A key feature of the guidelines is the expectation that clinical decisions to stop ASA for secondary prophylaxis patients will be made collaboratively with cardiologists, vascular medicine physicians, or primary care providers who know the patient well. This approach is similar to the suggestions of Douketis et al. In contrast to the suggestion of Douketis et al. Our institutional guidelines also emphasize documentation of decision making. Even after years of medicinal use, and 2 centuries of detailed chemical, biochemical, and physiologic investigation, many questions remain about willow bark extract and its derivatives in patient care.
The answers have important implications for daily clinical practice and safe patient care in the perioperative period. When should our patients take aspirin, and how much, as they are placed on call to the OR in the morning?
Aspirin ASA is prescribed for primary and secondary prophylaxis to reduce adverse thrombotic events related to cardiovascular and cerebrovascular atherosclerotic disease. Example: an active year-old male with a medical history limited to hypertension and hyperlipidemia, but no evidence of any other conditions, who takes ASA 81 mg daily.
Management of ASA in the immediate perioperative period, based on recent literature ASA 81 — mg should be continued in the perioperative period up to and including the day of the procedure. ASA may be held for a few days at the discretion of the surgeon or procedural physician due to a possible heightened risk for perioperative bleeding.
Hold ASA in specific circumstances: intracranial, middle ear, posterior eye or intramedullary spine surgery; possibly in prostate surgery. This decision should be documented. Exceptions: intracranial neurosurgical procedures, intramedullary spine surgery, surgery of the middle ear, or posterior eye, and possibly prostate surgery.
The discussion should weigh the cardiovascular risks of stopping ASA versus the risk of bleeding from the procedure. Newsletter The official journal of the anesthesia patient safety foundation. Stated another way, are some patients currently taking aspirin for primary prophylaxis at higher risk for cardiovascular complications than other primary prophylaxis patients? Do we have adequate criteria to define secondary prophylaxis?
Which surgical procedures are more likely to provoke inflammatory and hypercoagulable states than other interventions? For individual invasive procedures in individual patients , how do we determine whether the risk of bleeding outweighs the risk of thrombotic complications? A corollary question is how to help surgeons and other procedural physicians, vascular medicine specialists, cardiologists, and anesthesiologists formulate an optimum management plan for a specific patient.
What other drugs or preparatory measures might permit the withdrawal of aspirin as an antiplatelet agent without increasing the likelihood of perioperative thrombosis? A corollary question is how can the consequences of acute aspirin withdrawal be mitigated? How might anesthetic management e.
