Prevention of venous thromboembolism in the Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) setting: an evidence-based review

Abstract: Purpose To review the evidence surrounding appropriate prophylaxis for venous thromboembolism (VTE) in patients undergoing surgery. Principal findings Appropriate prophylactic strategies for surgical patients have been defined in major society guidelines. We review the evidence behind these guidelines in a case-based format, including patients with a high risk of bleeding, history of heparin-induced thrombocytopenia, obesity, and cancer. Selecting the most suitable means for VTE prophylaxis includes evaluating… Show more

“…More recently, a number of important research papers have linked the length of legs [8] and height [9] with recurrent venous thrombosis or pulmonary embolism [10]. To date, there are multiple prophylactic antithrombotic regiments; however, risk stratification strategies for prevention of DVT based on anthropometric data need to be improved [11]. …”

“…Good analgesia promotes early activities of patients, reduces complications, improves selfcare ability in daily life, and accelerates recovery. Early getting out of bed helps improve blood circulation throughout the body, can effectively reduce the occurrence of complications, such as deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary infection, promote patient recovery, shorten postoperative hospital stay, improve quality of life, and reduce economic pressure (14)(15)(16). Respiratory system management is an important part of ERAS and runs through the entire operation period.…”
