I am now going to blog on deep vein thrombosis prevention.Symptomatic VTE risk is higher for post surgical orthopedic patients compared with the general population and remains elevated for at least 2 months following surgery. The recommended approach to minimize the risk of complications is to prevent pulmonary embolism (PE) and deep vein thrombosis (DVT) via thromboprophylaxis in patients undergoing orthopedic surgery.Strategies employed for deep vein thrombosis prevention surgical patients vary in ease of use, risk of bleeding, and efficacy. For example, in patients undergoing major orthopedic surgery, the standard of care, as reflected in current guidelines, is to use anticoagulant prophylaxis following hip or knee replacement.Mechanical thromboprophylaxis devices are an appropriate option in patients at high risk of bleeding complications and can be used as an adjunct to anti coagulation.
