The treatment and prevention of deep vein thrombosis in the preoperative management of patients who have neurologic diseases.
Neurologic Clinics 2004 May
All patients with neurologic diseases should receive perioperative VTE prophylaxis. The choice of mechanical, pharmacologic, or combined modalities of prophylaxis depends on both the underlying risk factors and surgical VTE risks. Prophylaxis and treatment options must be individualized to the patient. Prevention of VTE will help minimize the need for therapeutic treatment. Options for treatment include both inpatient and outpatient regimens using UFH or LMWH. In patients with an absolute or relative contraindication to anticoagulation, an IVC filter is an appropriate management strategy. Perioperative bridging therapy should be considered in patients with high or moderate risks for recurrent VTE.
