Outcomes after Implementation of Prophylactic Protocol for Venous Thromboembolism in Surgical Patients

Completed
Conditions
Venous thromboembolism (VTE) in surgical patients is a preventable cause of hospital death. In previous studies, the prevalence of VTE decreased after implementing a prophylactic protocol. Because of the low rate of VTE prophylaxis in Thailand, we studied the outcomes after the implementation of a VTE prophylactic protocol in our hospital.
