Abstract: Despite prophylactic anticoagulants being used in the majority of patients admitted with major problems of mobility, 6% (3 out of 50) still developed clinically detected DVT and two developed pulmonary embolism. While this incidence is considerably lower than data reported before routine anticoagulation became a standard practice, these data reinforce the need for anticoagulation and suggest that full anticoagulation might be needed to reduce the incidence of thromboembolic complications further.

“…По данным литературы [10], ОВТ в глубокой веноз-ной системе имеют место у 8% больных, а ТЭЛА -у 6%, что по сравнению с нашими данными меньше в 2,5-6 раз. По-видимому, это обусловлено значительно более легким контингентом больных, включенных в зарубежное иссле-дование, где ИВЛ не проводили ни в одном случае, а так-же отсутствием регулярного ультразвукового мониторин-га и меньшим объемом дуплексного сканирования сосу-дов системы нижней полой вены.…”

“…Several circumstantial evidence suggest that different neurological conditions, such as CVA and GBS behave similarly to patients with spinal injuries [10,16], the highest risk of thromboembolism being in the first few months following the onset with significantly reduced risk thereafter even if the patient remained immobile.…”

“…A retrospective study of 73 patients with GBS had 5 patients who developed deep venous thrombosis, 3 of whom were on anticoagulation therapy, thereby concluding that patients should also wear sequential compression boots and coagulation studies should be periodically monitored. 9 Serial measurements of R-R interval on cardiac telemetry may be a sensitive method for identifying patients at risk for fatal arrhythmias. 10 Close monitoring of electrolytes is necessary because hyponatremia usually due to the syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone may occur and should be treated with fluid restriction.…”
