Preoperative lab before spinal procedure

[Chn96]

What kind of preoperative jabs you orders before procedures like Kyphoplasty or SCS ?
recently I have been adding platelet function test along with other labs, but have been getting lot of abnormal results , end up cancelling the case and sending to hemetology consult!
What is your consensus on platelet function test? Does any body orders that?

None for SCS trials.
Usual stuff for ASC/OR: EKG, CBC, CMP, CXR

No labs unless suspected abnormalities. Even for ASC/OR the preop guidelines have Changed in that most healthy people need no labs or preop testing at all.
