Hi this may seem like an elementary question but can you please share any nice resource discussing specifically if it’s safe to give subq heparin for Dvt prophylaxis before a peripheral nerve block? (No epidural or spinal).
Previous hospital I was at - they would give subq heparin after the peripheral block (truncal, upper extremity, lower extremity even PVB) was done, there was no issue as it was felt that there is no catheter.
What’s the quick and dirty answer? I’m having a hard time finding a tabular form pdf online specifically for ultrasound guided peripheral nerve blocks (I’ve typically used Uwash neuraxial guidelines)
