Computerized Clinical Decision Support to Prevent Venous Thromboembolism among Hospitalized Patients: Proximal Outcomes from a Multiyear Quality Improvement Project

Journal for Healthcare Quality, EarlyView., 2014
Abstract Despite venous thromboembolism (VTE) policy initiatives, gaps exist between guidelines and practice. In response, hospitals implement clinical decision support (CDS) systems to improve VTE prophylaxis. To assess the impact of a VTE CDS on reducing incidence of VTE, this study used a pretest/posttest, longitudinal, cohort design incorporating ...

The Use of venous thromboembolism prophylaxis in relatioN to patiEnt risk profilINg (TUNE IN) Wave 3 study

South African Medical Journal
Background. Thromboprophylaxis significantly reduces the risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE) in hospitalised medical and surgical patients. Nonetheless, the implementation of thromboprophylaxis in South Africa (SA) and worldwide is low.

Obstetric Thromboprophylaxis: The Swedish Guidelines

Advances in Hematology, 2011
Obstetric thromboprophylaxis is difficult. Since 10 years Swedish obstetricians have used a combined risk estimation model and recommendations concerning to whom, at what dose, when, and for how long thromboprophylaxis is to be administrated based on a ...

Thromboprophylaxis in day surgery

International Journal of Surgery, 2008
Many patients undergoing day surgery are at low-risk of venous thromboembolic events. However, given that pulmonary embolism is the most common preventable cause of hospital death, the risk-benefit profile of thromboprophylaxis should be accurately balanced.

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.

Underutilization of pharmacological thromboprophylaxis in obstetrics and gynaecology patients in the absence of a risk assessment tool

Journal of Taibah University Medical Sciences, 2018
Objective: This study was conducted to determine the risk factors for developing venous thromboembolism and to evaluate adherence to thromboprophylaxis guidelines among patients hospitalized in Obstetrics and Gynaecology units.

How can Secondary Thromboprophylaxis in High-Risk Pregnant Patients be Improved?

Clinical and Applied Thrombosis/Hemostasis, 2022
Low-molecular-weight heparin (LMWH) is suggested for thromboprophylaxis in pregnant women with previous venous thromboembolism (VTE ) . Anyway, there is only limited amount of studies evaluating the effect of LMWH on hemostatic parameters during ...

Bioinspired Passive Flow Routing to Mitigate Thrombosis in Prosthetic Heart Valves and Cardiovascular Devices

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Bioinspired passive flow routing mitigates thrombosis in cardiovascular devices by redirecting a small fraction of forward flow into stagnation‐prone regions. Inspired by avian alula and aircraft slat mechanisms, strategically placed routing channels restore washout around mechanical heart valves, reducing low‐shear exposure by four orders of magnitude

Different strategies for pharmacological thromboprophylaxis for lower-limb immobilisation after injury: systematic review and economic evaluation

Health Technology Assessment, 2019
Background: Thromboprophylaxis can reduce the risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE) during lower-limb immobilisation, but it is unclear whether or not this translates into meaningful health benefit, justifies the risk of bleeding or is cost-effective ...
