Vitamin E

Does anyone know why on our preop orders for a CABG they say to notify dr if patient is taking vitamin E?

Anyone know?

heres an interesting study that may answer your question.

This was taken from the article:

As it is known, vitamin E is an antioxidant that has been used in the ischemia-reperfusion models. It is the major antioxidant to prevent the formation of the oxygen-derived free radicals and at the same time it neutralizes the free radicals when formed. It has been demonstrated in several studies that because of its chemistry it neutralizes free radicals of oxygen and reduces the reperfusion injury with its antioxidant activity [ 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 ].

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the prostate damage during the CABG surgery and to investigate the role of vitamin E in protection.

This is great information and very interesting, however I think its probably related to the fact that vitamin E can cause bleeding tendencies and can potentiate bleeding in combination with other anticoagulants.

oh yeah and that too...:smackingf

I agree with this.

Yep, it's theorized that Vitamin E reduces coronary risks by reducing platelet aggregation.
