Why am I giving this talk?1) My research is in DVT and PE prevention2) It’s the last talk of the day and they heard I was ‘energetic’3) I’m a resident so I’m very, very cheap

+What is a DVT/PE and why do I care?
Etiology = Virchow’s Triad: Circulatory Stasis Intimal Injury Hypercoagulability
Definition: A blood clot forming in a “deep”
vein Usually lower extremity
![Page 5: + Deep Vein Thrombosis Common, Preventable, and potentially Fatal.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649ce55503460f949b2290/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
+What is a DVT/PE and why do I care?
Pulmonary Embolism: A blood clot that formed in a
“deep” vein and then “embolized” back to the heart/lungs
Commonly cited cause of the “late” trauma death

+When should I SUSPECT a DVT/PE?
First and foremost…….. BE VERY, VERY SUSPICIOUS!!!!
![Page 8: + Deep Vein Thrombosis Common, Preventable, and potentially Fatal.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649ce55503460f949b2290/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)

+How do I DIAGNOSE a DVT/PE?
Clinical Swollen, Painful, Erythematous
Extremity SOB, pleuritic pain, tachypneia, hypoxia SUDDEN COLLAPSE Laboratory D-Dimer Blood gas, EKG, CXR
Definitive US leg veins (9 to 5 test) VQ Scan or CT PE study (24/7
test)

Doppler US in ALL symptomatic patients
Screening US in HIGH RISK patients
LHSC Practice
Doppler US in ALL symptomatic patients (LEVEL I)

+How do I PREVENT a DVT/PE?
Prevention Strategies Early Ambulation Prophylactic Anticoagulation Mechanical Compression Devices IVC Filters
![Page 13: + Deep Vein Thrombosis Common, Preventable, and potentially Fatal.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649ce55503460f949b2290/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
+How do I PREVENT a DVT/PE?
Early Ambulation No debate on this topic Level I evidence Multiple benefits beyond
DVT/PE prevention Easier said than done ?
![Page 14: + Deep Vein Thrombosis Common, Preventable, and potentially Fatal.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649ce55503460f949b2290/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
+How do I PREVENT a DVT/PE?
Prophylactic Anticoagulation Typically LMWH
Dalteparin 5000 units sc daily
LHSC Practice LMWH for ALL eligible patients LMWH given throughout hospital stay
![Page 15: + Deep Vein Thrombosis Common, Preventable, and potentially Fatal.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649ce55503460f949b2290/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
+How do I PREVENT a DVT/PE?
EAST Guidelines LMWH for specific patients (LEVEL II)(lower extremity #, pelvic #, SCI…)
LMWH for ISS > 9 (LEVEL III)
LMWH specifically contraindicated with intracranial bleeding or epidural catheter (LEVEL III)
Prophylactic Anticoagulation
![Page 16: + Deep Vein Thrombosis Common, Preventable, and potentially Fatal.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649ce55503460f949b2290/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
+How do I PREVENT a DVT/PE?
Mechanical Compression Devices (MCD) Preferred method if LMWH is contraindicated
LHSC Practice MCD for ALL eligible patients
EAST Guidelines MCD may not reduce rates of DVT/PE
(LEVEL II) MCD may be indicated for SCI patients
(LEVEL III)

+How do I PREVENT a DVT/PE?
IVC Filters
What are they?
How do they work?
When should we use them?
![Page 18: + Deep Vein Thrombosis Common, Preventable, and potentially Fatal.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649ce55503460f949b2290/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
+How do I PREVENT/TREAT a DVT/PE? IVC Filters
Traditional Indications (LEVEL 1) Known DVT + contraindication to anticoagulation Recurrent PE while on anticoagulation
“Extended” Indications (LEVEL II) Free floating clot in iliac/IVC Following ‘massive’ PE
“Prophylactic” Indications (LEVEL III) Any high risk injury type + contraindication to anticoagulation(SCI, Pelvic #, Extremity #, Severe closed head…)
![Page 19: + Deep Vein Thrombosis Common, Preventable, and potentially Fatal.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649ce55503460f949b2290/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)

+How do I PREVENT/TREAT a DVT/PE? Treatment of Known DVT/PE
Full Dose Anticoagulation IV Heparin infusion Fragmin at HIGH dose (200 u/kg)
IVC Filter If anticoagulation contraindicated
Thrombolytics vs Surgical Embolectomy Indicated for MASSIVE pulmonary embolism

+Summary – DVT/PE
DVT and PE in Trauma Patients Maintain a HIGH INDEX of suspicion Maintain a LOW THRESHOLD to investigate Prevention >>> Cure
