VTE prophylaxis in the surgical patient (American College of Physicians PIER)
The risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE) differs based on the type of surgical procedure performed and the underlying patient comordibities. Participants will appreciate the high incidence of VTE in selected surgical patients who do not receive prophylaxis; identify clinical risk factors and comorbidities that increase the risk of postoperative VTE; understand interventions to decrease risk; be able to educate patients for the postoperative period; be able to evaluate patients promptly who report signs or symptoms of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) or pulmonary embolism (PE). » Go to this activity
