Thromboprophylaxis in the paediatric setting
![Page 2: Thromboprophylaxis in the paediatric setting](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062315/568150eb550346895dbf05ca/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
Background
• No evidence for routine VTE risk assessment
• No evidence to support the routine use of thromboprophylaxis, mechanical or pharmacological

Incidence
• VTE rarely occurs in the paediatric population
• Incidence 0.7-1.0 per 100,000 population
• Peak incidence in neonates and adolescents
• Prevalence 5.3 per 10,000 hospital admissions.

Recommendations of best practice
• Early mobilisation
• Adequate hydration
• Prompt removal of central venous lines
• Consider site of insertion of CVL (Femoral vein is associated with highest incidence of thrombosis)

• Majority of VTEs are catheter related or have multiple underlying contributing factors such as
– Sepsis
– Immobility
– Malignancy
– Surgery
– Congenital heart disease
– Trauma

When to seek advice
• If multiple contributing factors are present seek advice from paediatric consultant or paediatric haematologist to consider the risk benefit ratio of using thromboprophylaxis
