The drug has been approved by the FDA for prophylaxis of postoperative deep venous thrombosis (DVT) in patients undergoing elective hip replacement surgery. In contrast to low-molecular- weight heparins, which have an 80% to 90% incidence of cross-reactivity in heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (...

Question In critically ill patients, is dalteparin more effective than unfractionated heparin (UFH) for reducing incident proximal deep venous thrombosis (DVT)? Methods Design Randomized controlled trial (Prophylaxis for Thromboembolism in Critical Care Trial [PROTECT]). ClinicalTrials.gov NCT00182143. ...
If no prevention methods (pharmacological agents or mechanical compression devices) are implemented DVT develops in up to 50% of some categories of hospitalised patients. Table 1: DVT incidence without VTE prophylaxis VTE Prophylaxis Evidence-based findings from well designed studies have clearly shown ...
However, overuse of these prophylaxes can increase the risk of bleeding, heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) and associated medical cost. PURPOSE: The aim of this study is to determine the incidence of DVT prophylaxis among hospitalized nonsurgical patients in a community medical center. To ...
