Venous thromboembolism in the ICU: main characteristics, diagnosis and thromboprophylaxis

TL;DR: Thromboprophylaxis is needed in all ICU patients, mainly with low molecular weight heparin, such as fragmine, which can be used even in cases of non-severe renal failure, Nevertheless, VTE can occur despite well-conducted thrombobembolism, which has to be used if anticoagulation is not possible.

Antithrombotic therapy for venous thromboembolic disease.

TL;DR: It is shown that patients with symptomatic proximal DVT may benefit from fitted compression stockings for at least 3 months to reduce the incidence of the postthrombotic syndrome, and patients with VTE who receive adequate anticoagulation generally do not die of recurrent disease.

Central vein catheter-related thrombosis in intensive care patients: incidence, risks factors, and relationship with catheter-related sepsis.

Venous Thromboembolism in the Outpatient Setting

TL;DR: Efforts to improve in-hospital use of VTE prophylaxis may help decrease the incidence of outpatient VTE, but given the shortening of hospital stays, studies of extended VTEProphylactic following hospital discharge are warranted.

Upper-extremity deep vein thrombosis: a prospective registry of 592 patients.

TL;DR: The findings identify deficiencies in the current understanding and the prophylaxis of UEDVT and generate hypotheses for future research efforts that differ from the conventional risk factors for lower-extremity DVT.
