Use of Aspirin in the Perioperative Setting: A Surgeon's Survey
This is a survey of members of the American College of Surgeons (ACS), to describe and
explore current patterns of their decisions about withholding or continuation for patients
taking aspirin (ASA) in the perioperative period. Secondarily, the survey will also explore
surgeons' knowledge about the risks and benefits attending this decision, and about national
organizations' recommendations.

An announcement of the survey and invitation to participate will be posted in the "ACS
Surgery News" newsletter published by the American College of Surgeons. Surgeons of all
specialties will be invited to participate. No identifiers will be maintained with survey
responses. In addition to the substantive questions below, typical demographic data will be
obtained including participants' duration of practice, specialty, gender, state, etc.
The survey will include questions intended to characterize current practice surrounding the
decision to continue or withhold aspirin in the perioperative period. Other questions will
focus on surgeons' knowledge of national medical/surgical organizations that have published
guidelines on the perioperative use of aspirin. Finally, other survey questions will
characterize surgeons' knowledge of the platelet rebound effect.
