Preventing Blood Clots: The Importance of Venous Thromboembolism Management

Speciality: Hematology

Description:

A warm welcome to all the medical professionals in this memorable scientific session on the management of venous thromboembolism in patients of general surgery. 

Venous thromboembolism is the most common cause of death observed in surgical patients. The risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE) among the population of postoperative patients is heterogeneous and depends on intrinsic patient factors.

The risk is determined by the combination of different factors and features such as the use of prophylaxis, perioperative care, etc which are related to the type of surgery. It is evident that extended use of prophylaxis, early mobilization, and the implication of improved perioperative care can help in reducing the risk of VTE in surgical patients. 

Thus, depending on the risk for VTE and major bleeding in surgical patients combined methods of mechanical and pharmacological prophylaxis or only mechanical prophylaxis may be preferred.
