  • Preprečevanje venske tromboze in pljučne embolije = Prevention of venous thrombosis and pulmonary embolism
    Vene, Nina
    Despite advances in the prevention and treatment of venous thromboembolism, pulmonary embolism remains one of the most preventable causes of death. The prophylactic approach depends on patients' risk ... factors, summarized in three risk categories: low, moderate and high-risk patients. Only in low-risk patients is no specific prophylaxis recommended apart from early ambulation. In moderate and high-risk patients, unfractionated heparins or low-molecular-weight heparins are most commonly used. Lately, low-molecular-weight heparins, which are more efficient in high-risk patients and have many other practical advances over unfractionated heparin, have takenover the dominant role in prevention of venous thromboembolism. The simple use of the drug provided an opportunity for prolonged out-of-hospital prophylaxis which should be considered in orthopedic and other very high-risk patients. Low-molecular-weight heparins were also recently extensively studiedin several medical and high-risk cancer patients. Despite their undisputed efficacy, prophylactic measures are still underused and implementation of practical strategies for prevention of venous thromboembolism in hospitals and after discharge is needed.
