COST, DEATH AND MORBIDITY AVERTED WITH VENOUS THROMBOEMBOLISM PROPHYLAXIS

Abstract

The Virchow theory defined at the beginning of the 19th century is still valid in etiology of venous thromboembolism. According to this theory, stasis, damage to the vein walls and hypercoagulation of blood are the three main contributing factors of the disease. One of this contributing factors alone is effective in increasing the risk of venous thromboembolism formation. The targets of the treatment are to prevent lung emboly, to stop the progression of thrombosis, to reperfuse and recanalise the thrombosed veins, to prevent post-thrombophlebitic syndrome and recurrences of thrombosis and to prevent pulmonary hypertension. In venous thromboembolism, prophylaxy is applied to patients of high risk to prevent vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism. VTE etiology can divided into three groups whicih are; 30% malignities, 30% hospitali-sation and 40% idiopatic. Venous thromboembolism or commonly known as deep venous thrombosis (DVT) is an important cause of mortality and mor-bidity. VTE is a condition, which can be prevented by different prophylactic measures. Here, we reviewed the risk factors, incidence and prophylactic measures in surgical and medical patients in view of the literature.
