Treatment of Epidural Hematoma

Special Considerations

• The American Society of Hematology recommends reversing anticoagulation if present, with a platelet count ideally above 100 × 10⁹/L before surgical intervention, to minimize the risk of bleeding in patients with coagulopathy 1, 2, 3
• Thromboprophylaxis should be considered once hemostasis is secured, to prevent thromboembolic complications, as suggested by the American College of Chest Physicians 2
