Low-dose oral vitamin K to normalize the international normalized ratio prior to surgery in patients who require temporary interruption of warfarin.
In patients who require warfarin interruption before surgery and have an elevated international normalized ratio (INR) before surgery, low-dose vitamin K may normalize the INR in time for surgery. ⋯ In patients requiring interruption of warfarin for surgery, 1 mg oral vitamin K on the day before surgery can normalize the INR by the day of surgery and may not confer resistance to warfarin re-anticoagulation after surgery.
