Summary

A 73-year-old female, following a motor vehicle collision, is scheduled for an urgent spine open reduction internal fixation (ORIF) due to a Chance fracture sustained while wearing a lap belt. Her medical history consists of congestive heart failure (ejection fraction is 35%), atrial fibrillation on warfarin (Coumadin) (current INR 3.1), iron deficiency anemia (hematocrit 27), and thrombocytopenia (platelets 78). She also takes aspirin 81 mg. How will you reverse the warfarin for surgery? How will you manage her anemia? Will you transfuse her prior to the surgery? What management strategies will you institute if blood loss is expected to be high? What if she refuses blood transfusion?
