The Authors, on the ground of the data of the experience of the Reanimation and Intensive Care Department (Palermo University), emphasize that the patients admitted in these units are "high risk patients" for thrombosis and embolism diseases for the invasive techniques used, for stillness, shock and politrauma. The Authors recommend an adequate prophilaxis also if often very difficult and emphasize that using Urokynase and Calcium-Heparin recovers the illness of thrombo-embolic complications also if prognosis remain non modified in the pulmonary general form.
