Toradol

i have seen many of my post op joints and trauma patients get good relief with toradol. but yesterday i was speaking with one of the sugeons about it and he said it should never be given to a post op ortho patient because almost all are being anticoagulated. apparently, toradol cannot be used with coumadin, lovenox, asa, or fragmin as it can cause an intracranial bleed. anyone else have any thoughts on this?

I like this Thread Quite intresting,

I did know all of this about Toradol which is more than frequwntly used on our unit with both joints, and backs. I didn't know that is deceases that chance of fusion with spines. Which is intresting to me. We use Toradol with coumadin on our joints. IF anything it's helping them reach there therapeutic PT/INR faster. To prevent clots.

We have one surgeon who on his knees will only use ASA, no toradol, nothing other than TEDS and compression device for DTV propho. Yeah, deff. seen the differnce his pt have had PE's.

I just have some questions does any one have any idea on how many does of toradol to signifigantly prolong bleeding times??? I have never seen any documentation of how much toradol is take to prolong bleeding times.

Out trauma patients are forbid from using any toradol.

I think it's a great non-narcotic pain mainment.
