Thromboprophylaxis in Stroke Patients

Stroke, 2005
To the Editor: The risk for venous thromboembolism (VTE) in medical patients, including those with stroke, is similar to that in moderate-risk surgery patients.1 In contrast to surgical patients, prevention of VTE has been less characterized in hospitalized medical patients because trials are generally limited in number and smaller in size.

Thromboprophylaxis in neurosurgical patients

Seminars in Hematology, 2000
Neurosurgical patients constitute one of the highest risk groups for postoperative thromboembolic complications. Physical methods of thromboprophylaxis have been successful in reducing the incidence of postoperative deep vein thrombosis (DVT) but the residual incidence remains considerable.

Emerging concepts in thromboprophylaxis

Pathophysiology of Haemostasis and Thrombosis, 2002
Venous thromboembolism (VTE), comprising pulmonary embolism (PE) and deep vein thrombosis (DVT), is a common and potentially fatal disease. Since it is frequently asymptomatic, prevention is the most effective means to reduce morbidity and mortality. Although thromboprophylaxis is recommended in patients undergoing general and orthopaedic surgery and ...

Thromboprophylaxis in Emergency Surgery

Pathophysiology of Haemostasis and Thrombosis, 1993
Except for hip fracture surgery, emergency surgery has been only exceptionally studied concerning thromboprophylaxis. There are, however, several reasons to believe the frequency to be fairly high and that the patient group would be in need of prophylaxis.

Thromboprophylaxis in Cancer Patients

Seminars in Thrombosis and Hemostasis, 2014
Cancer-associated thrombosis (CAT) is frequent and associated with significant morbidity and mortality among cancer patients. Hospitalized medically ill cancer patients are considered to be at high risk of CAT complications. Parenteral thromboprophylaxis with low-molecular-weight heparin is likely to reduce the risk of venous thromboembolism in this ...

Implementation of thromboprophylaxis guidelines.

Irish medical journal, 2013
Venous thromboembolism (VTE) remains one of the leading direct causes of maternal death. Risk factors for VTE and prophylaxis guidelines have been highlighted by the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists (RCOG). A cross sectional study was completed in Cork University Maternity Hospital (CUMH) to determine pattern of VTE risk and compliance

Thromboprophylaxis and Neuraxial Anesthesia

Orthopedics, 2003
Abstract Spinal hematoma is a rare and potentially catastrophic complication of spinal or epidural anesthesia. Risk factors include traumatic needle/catheter placement, sustained anticoagulation in an indwelling neuraxial catheter, and catheter removal during therapeutic levels of anticoagulation.
