  • ...In the United States, however, concerns about the potential for neuraxial bleeding (particularly in the setting of heparinization, platelet inhibitors, and CPBinduced thrombocytopenia), local anesthetic toxicity, and logistical issues related to the timing of epidural catheter insertion and management have resulted in limited use of these techniques (22)....

TL;DR: Goodman and Gilman's the pharmacological basis of therapeutics , Goodman and Gilmann's the pharmaceutica basis for drug discovery, and more.
Abstract: In 1940, the world of pharmacology was revolutionized by the appearance of the first edition of this now-classic text. Edited by Lou Goodman and Al Gilman, it was a joy to read and a beacon in the darkness for teachers, students, and practitioners. (I can recall physicians saying they kept it on their bedside table for their nightly reading and pleasure.) The new edition remains a competently written and authoritative book, although it is now put together by 58 people instead of two, with the inevitable problems posed by such a division of labor. (One may envy the editors and the publishers the income from this best seller, but not the task of nagging recalcitrant authors with no respect for deadlines.) One may question, however, as in recent editions, the wisdom of combining a textbook for students and a reference for physicians. Those of us who teach second-year medical students

  • ...Rather, such patients can continue to be treated with twicedaily subcutaneous UFH and the use of compression devices.(7) Furthermore, it is not necessary to routinely check the aPTT or platelet count, unless the clinician is concerned about changes in these values after Bprolonged administration[ or in patients with many comorbidities that might influence the pharmacologic expression of subcutaneous UFH....

  • ...This may be in part due to low adherence to the prescribed balance of thromboembolic complication and bleeding, a difference in patient population (controlled study patients with few comorbidities versus actual clinical practice) and the use of a surrogate end point.(7,21) In addition, because previous studies have not included patients at risk for increased bleeding, the balance between hemostasis and thromboembolism in these patients is even less clear....
