As follow up to npo thread, how often to you bend other guidelines.... For example....
A patient had a non stemi 8 days ago.... They bms'ed there rca in two places. The lcx and lad lesions were 50-60% - her symptoms were attributed to rca lesions. Post non stemi she's in renal failure. She has a catheter for dialysis but surgeon wants to do an av fistula now. She also has copd, morbid obesity, etc. guidelines say wait 6 weeks to 30 days for elective surgery.... Thoughts?
