An understanding of the mechanisms of blood coagulation, the pharmacologic properties of the anticoagulant and antiplatelet medications, and also the clinical studies involving patients undergoing central neural blockade while receiving these medications is paramount in reducing the risk of spinal hematoma in patients undergoing neuraxial blockade.
