药物和补品
- Seven days before surgery: Stop taking all NSAIDs (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs), 比如萘普生(Aleve), 布洛芬(艾德维尔, 布林)和阿司匹林. They interfere with blood clotting, which can increase blood loss during surgery.
- If you take blood thinners (anticoagulant medications), the doctor who prescribed them and the Prepare Clinic will determine how long before surgery you should stop. 其中包括氯吡格雷(Plavix), 伊诺肝素(肝素), 华法林(香豆素, Jantoven), 阿哌沙班(Eliquis)和达比加群(Pradaxa).
- Seven days before surgery: Stop taking most supplements. Examples include vitamin E, ginkgo biloba, ginseng, glucosamine and fish oil. You'll review this in detail when you meet with the Prepare clinic before surgery.
- It's fine to take Tylenol (acetaminophen) products or Celebrex (celecoxib) until the day of surgery.
牙科评价
Significant dental conditions need to be resolved before surgery. A dental procedure may allow bacteria to enter your bloodstream and cause an infection that could travel to your artificial joint.
Be sure to see your dentist well before the day of your joint replacement surgery. If you'll need dental work within two weeks of your scheduled surgery, 马上告诉你的外科十大赌博平台排行榜.
