Can I have surgery if my prothrombin time is a little high?

The prothrombin time is a little high, and surgery can be performed in this case. The risk of surgery is higher than that of patients with a normal prothrombin time, because a high prothrombin time may lead to a slight decrease in the coagulation function, resulting in a slightly slower stoppage of bleeding during surgery, which, in general, does not have a huge impact. Before the operation, we should prepare blood and medicines, and apply them during the operation. If there is more bleeding during the operation, we should supplement blood volume in time, such as intravenous plasma and red blood cells, or intravenous platelets, as well as intravenous supplementation of physiological fluids such as sugar and saline, which can effectively maintain the blood volume and avoid shock. Especially for patients who need emergency surgery, it may lead to abnormal cardiopulmonary function and life-threatening. Therefore, timely surgical treatment must be carried out, and in this case, a slightly higher prothrombin time can also be operated.
