PCA
See Prothrombin complex concentrate (PCC) B.1. What is dabigatran (Pradaxa)? How is its effect measured? How far in advance of elective surgery should it be stopped? Can its effect be reversed? B.9. What coagulation abnormalities are present after TBI? What modalities can be used to provide hemostasis and reduce intracranial hematoma expansion? C.21.

Why is it important to control postoperative pain? How would you achieve this? D.5. You were able to perform a continuous spinal epidural (CSE) at L3-L4 and used 0.125% bupivacaine via the epidural catheter for postoperative pain control. The patient reports that he is comfortable regarding both his back pain and his ankle pain. What benefit would continuing methadone confer in this case?
