To assess the usefulness of practicing preoperative coagulations tests in preparation of laparoscopic surgical procedures. Retrospective observational study. king fahad medical city a tertiary-care referral center in Saudi Arabia. Five hundred and fifty adult patients scheduled for elective laparoscopic surgery were studied to determine whether plan of management was influenced by routinely done bleeding time (BT), platelet count (PC), prothrombin time (PT), activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) and international normalization ratio (INR). No intervention or change of management was identified in 463 patients whom coagulation profiles were done routinely as part of preoperative preparation. However, management plan was changed in 5 (5.75%) of 87 patients having indications for coagulation profile test (p < 0.01). The study shows that preoperative screening tests for coagulopathies not suspected on the basis of detailed clinical information are unnecessary and should not be done.
