Abstract
Preoperative identification and management of hemostatic disorders minimizes bleeding complications from surgery. Taking a history is the most important part of assessing a patient’s perioperative bleeding risk, followed by lab testing if indicated. Management of specific disorders such as von Willebrand disease, hemophilia, and vitamin K deficiency in the perioperative period requires specific lab monitoring and product administration.
