    Background:

    • Venous thromboembolism (VTE) affects over 2 million individuals annually.
    • Pulmonary embolism (PE) results in an estimated 50,000 deaths each year.
    • Mortality rates from PE have remained stagnant for two decades.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To emphasize the importance of understanding VTE etiology.
    • To highlight the necessity of VTE prevention strategies.
    • To underscore the critical role of critical care practitioners in managing VTE.

    Main Methods:

    • Literature review on VTE epidemiology.
    • Analysis of VTE-related mortality data.
    • Synthesis of current understanding of VTE causes and prevention.

    Main Results:

    • VTE is a widespread and persistent health issue.
    • Pulmonary embolism remains a significant cause of mortality.
    • There is a critical need for improved VTE management.

    Conclusions:

    • Enhanced understanding of VTE etiology is essential.
    • Effective prevention strategies are paramount.
    • Critical care practitioners require updated knowledge for optimal patient outcomes.
