Venous Thrombosis III: Interprofessional Care01:29

Venous Thrombosis III: Interprofessional Care

Venous thrombosis requires effective prevention and treatment strategies to improve patient outcomes and reduce potential complications.Prevention StrategiesHealthcare providers must prioritize preventing venous thromboembolism (VTE) for all adult patients upon admission. Interventions depend on bleeding and thrombosis risk, medical history, current medications, diagnoses, planned procedures, and patient preferences. Patients on bed rest should change positions every two hours and, if not...

Venous Thrombosis I: Introduction

Venous thrombosis, the most common disorder of the veins, involves the formation of a thrombus or blood clot associated with vein inflammation. It can be classified as either superficial vein thrombosis or deep vein thrombosis.Superficial Vein Thrombosis: This involves the formation of a thrombus in a superficial vein, usually the greater or lesser saphenous vein. Though less severe than deep vein thrombosis (DVT), SVT can lead to complications if untreated.Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT): This...

Venous Thrombosis II: Clinical Manifestations and Diagnostic Studies

The key difference between Superficial Vein Thrombosis (SVT) and Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) lies in their location and severity.Clinical ManifestationsSVT typically presents with localized pain, tenderness, and redness along the course of a superficial vein, often accompanied by a palpable, cord-like structure under the skin. This condition is usually less dangerous than DVT but can be uncomfortable and may lead to complications such as cellulitis or, rarely, a clot extension into the deep...
Pulmonary Embolism I: Introduction01:29

Pulmonary Embolism I: Introduction

Pulmonary embolism (PE) occurs when a thrombus, fat or air embolus, amniotic fluid, or tumor tissue blocks one or more pulmonary arteries. These blockages originate in the venous system or the right side of the heart.EtiologyPE primarily arises from deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and other hypercoagulable states, such as inherited thrombophilias. Additional etiological factors include venous stasis, commonly seen in obesity, and endothelial injury from surgery and trauma. Less common causes include...
Pulmonary Embolism I: Introduction01:19

Pulmonary Embolism I: Introduction

A blood clot, or thrombus, is a semi-solid mass composed of fibrin, platelets, and red blood cells. When it forms within a vessel, it can obstruct blood flow, known as thrombosis. If part of the clot detaches, it becomes an embolus that can travel and block distant vessels. When this occurs in the pulmonary arteries, it causes a condition known as pulmonary embolism (PE).Origin and ImpactMost often, the embolus originates from a thrombus in the deep veins of the lower limbs, a condition called...
Pulmonary Embolism III: Nursing Management01:27

Pulmonary Embolism III: Nursing Management

A pulmonary embolism occurs when a thrombus, amniotic fluid, tumor tissue, fat, or air embolus blocks one or more pulmonary arteries. Effective nursing management and patient education are crucial for improving outcomes and preventing recurrence.Nursing management starts with obtaining a comprehensive patient history, particularly noting any history of deep vein thrombosis (DVT). Assess for clinical manifestations, including dyspnea, chest pain, crackles, heart murmurs, and signs of right-sided...

Summary

Venous thrombo-embolism (VTE) is increasingly diagnosed in India, with malignancy and surgery as key risk factors. Awareness for VTE prophylaxis is crucial, especially for general surgery patients.

Area of Science:

  • Medical research
  • Clinical epidemiology
  • Public health

Background:

  • Venous thrombo-embolism (VTE) was historically uncommon in Asia.
  • Recent data suggests a rising incidence of VTE in regions like Hong Kong and Singapore.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To ascertain the incidence of VTE in hospitalized patients.
  • To identify predisposing factors for VTE.
  • To enhance awareness regarding the necessity of VTE prophylaxis.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of VTE diagnoses between 1996 and 2005.
  • Utilized in-patient records for data collection and out-patient records for follow-up.
  • Calculated incidence per 10,000 admissions and per 10,000 operations.

Main Results:

  • Overall VTE incidence was 17.46 per 10,000 admissions.
  • Malignancy (31%) and postoperative status (30%) were the leading predisposing factors.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) incidence was highest in general surgery (40.3%) and orthopaedic patients (20.1%).
  • Pulmonary embolism (PE) occurred in 14.9% of patients, with a 13.5% mortality rate.

Conclusions:

  • VTE is a significant concern in India, not a rarity.
  • General surgical procedures are a primary cause of postoperative DVT.
  • Pulmonary embolism is frequently suspected but underdiagnosed.
