Venous thromboembolism- Prevention, management and anaesthetic considerations
DOI:
https://doi.org/10.7439/ijbr.v6i2.1551Abstract
Venous thromboembolism has a high incidence in hospitalised patients. These patients may present for surgery. Type of anaesthesia may be considered, general or regional, based on the therapeutic or prophylactic anticoagulant treatment they are receiving and the type and urgency of surgery. Best informed decision regarding the type of anaesthesia can only be made if the anaesthesiologist is abreast with the latest developments in the management of venous thromboembolism.Downloads
