Probably your father was operated for bleeding inside brain. That's why the medicines which increase the chance bleeding are stopped for the time being. They would restart or give alternate medicines once he settles down. So don't worry. If you are anxious you can ask your doctor and get your doubts cleared.

Dear lybrate-user, it appears that your father may have had extradural or subdural hematoma after the accident. In view of his cardiac problem some of the medicines may have to be resumed. See if his discharge summary has details of what medicines he should continue long term. If details are not available in the discharge summary, send me a detailed history of all his problems (with year and treatment details, and all his medications which he was on before the craniotomy.
