would you give the 2100 dose of lovenox or heparin sq (for prophylaxis only) to a patient going for surgery the next day (time of surgery unknown)? i've asked 2 doctors and one told me to hold it and one said to give it.
I would see what the doc wanted. Exactly like you said, some would hold and some would want it given.

Comment:
ask anesthesia and the surgeon what they want you to do.

Comment:
heparin is cleared in ~6 hours... your patient should be able to get a 2100 doselovenox is another story as it can stick around for 24h
