Considerations in perioperative assessment of valproic acid coagulopathy
Abstract
Valproic acid (VPA) is one of the widely prescribed antiepileptic drugs in children with multiple indications. VPA-induced coagulopathy may occur and constitute a pharmacological and practical challenge affecting pre-operative evaluation and management of patients receiving VPA therapy. This review summarizes the different studies documenting the incidence, severity and available recommendations related to this adverse effect.
Keywords: Adverse effects; anesthesia; coagulation disorders; perioperative care; valproic acid.
