Trauma Venous Thromboembolism
(VTE) Prevention Latest Update
Graded A+
What is the most common complication associated with untreated deep vein thrombosis in

trauma patients?


✔✔Pulmonary embolism is the most common and potentially fatal complication.




Explain why early mobilization is crucial for preventing VTE in hospitalized trauma patients.


✔✔Early mobilization helps stimulate blood flow, reducing venous stasis, which decreases the

likelihood of clot formation.




How do intermittent pneumatic compression devices prevent venous thromboembolism?


✔✔They enhance blood flow in the legs by providing mechanical compression, reducing the risk

of clot formation.




What laboratory value is typically monitored when a patient is on heparin for VTE prophylaxis?


✔✔The aPTT (activated partial thromboplastin time) is monitored to ensure therapeutic levels.

, Describe the significance of D-dimer levels in diagnosing VTE.


✔✔Elevated D-dimer levels indicate increased clot formation and breakdown, which can suggest

the presence of VTE.




What are the signs and symptoms that may indicate a pulmonary embolism in a trauma patient?


✔✔Sudden shortness of breath, chest pain, rapid heart rate, and coughing up blood are common

symptoms.




When should pharmacological prophylaxis be initiated in trauma patients to prevent VTE?


✔✔It should be started as soon as the risk of bleeding is controlled, often within 24-48 hours

after injury.




Explain the rationale for using low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) instead of unfractionated

heparin in VTE prevention.


✔✔LMWH has a more predictable anticoagulant response, requires less frequent dosing, and

carries a lower risk of bleeding.




What is the purpose of using compression stockings in VTE prevention?
