Why the study?
Does Low Molecular Weight Heparin prevent thromboembolism in high-risk trauma patients?
Does Low Molecular Weight Heparin prevent thromboembolism in high-risk trauma patients?
LMWH is an effective and safe strategy for DVT prophylaxis in high-risk trauma patients, with mechanical compression recommended as an alternative when heparin is contraindicated.
Supports LMWH for DVT prophylaxis in high-risk trauma; hypothesis-generating pending randomized confirmation.
The administration of LMWH is a safe and extremely effective method of preventing DVT in high-risk trauma patients. When heparin is contraindicated, aggressive attempts at mechanical compression are warranted.
