Preoperative 1 and the day of surgery, to intramuscular injection of vitamin K1 10 mg each 1 times, the patient had better be hospitalized. Before surgery, the doctor should explain to the patient the precautions to cooperate with the puncture, practice the aspiration and eliminate the patient's fear and tension.
