Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is comprised of pulmonary embolism and deep venous thrombosis and is associated with significant morbidity and mortality.
All patients admitted for major trauma, surgery or acute medical illness should be assessed for risk of venous thromboembolism and bleeding before starting prophylaxis for venous thromboembolism.
Carefully weigh the benefits of prophylaxis against the risk of bleeding when deciding on VTE prevention. Recent Asian studies showed reduction in risk of VTE with postoperative thromboprophylaxis with no significant increased risk in bleeding.
Decision on which type of prophylaxis to be given must be individualized for each patient.
For further information regarding the management of Venous Thromboembolism - Prevention, please refer to Disease Algorithm for the Treatment Guideline.
