Regional anesthesia and analgesia provide attractive options for patients undergoing major orthopedic procedures. The use of anticoagulation medications in the elderly patient population and in patients with cardiovascular risks is very common. The guidelines from the American Society of Regional Anesthesia and Pain Medicine (ASRA) and other societies have been adopted widely over many years. The guidelines provide a basis for adequate delay intervals between dosing of medications and performing neuraxial or peripheral nerve blocks (PNBs), thus allowing for safer practice of regional anesthesia. Following guidelines never eliminates risk, but it allows balanced clinical practice by physicians in regard to the risks and benefits for individual patients.
