New perspectives of volemic resuscitation in polytrauma patients: a review.

TL;DR: This paper presents a review of modern techniques and current studies regarding the management of fluid resuscitation in trauma patients with hemorrhagic shock and suggests all aspects regarding post-resuscitation period need to be considered.
Journal ArticleDOI

Risk factors for potential pulmonary embolism in the patients with deep venous thrombosis: a retrospective study

TL;DR: Immobilization of lower limb might play a protective role in preventing big thrombi from detaching from the vessel wall in patients with DVT, and major surgery and mobile lower limb were independent risk factors for potential thrombus of PE in patientsWith DVT.
Journal ArticleDOI

Unprovoked Venous Thromboembolism

TL;DR: Most patients with unprovoked venous thromboembolism require secondary thromboprophylaxis upon the completion of the primary treatment phase if they have no high bleeding risk as discussed by the authors .

Haemostasis and Inflammatory Parameters as Potential Diagnostic Biomarkers for VTE in Trauma-Immobilized Patients

TL;DR: In this article , the authors provide information regarding classic and essential haemostasis (including prothrombin time (PT), activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT), D-dimer, fibrinogen, thrombin generation, protein C, protein S, antithrombin, tissue factor pathway inhibitor, and platelet count) and inflammatory biomarkers (C-reactive protein, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, and soluble P-selectin) as potential diagnostic biomarkers that can predict the risk of VTE development among trauma patients with prolonged immobilization.
