Venous thromboembolism in neurologic disease.

摘要: Abstract Patients with neurologic disease are at high risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE) because relative immobility. They also increased due to the presence a hypercoagulable state. spinal cord injuries, brain tumors, and strokes particularly extra vigilance is needed in these patients. Because VTE very common hospitalized neurosurgical patients, mechanical thromboprophylaxis indicated virtually all Pharmacologic prophylaxis either subcutaneous heparin or low molecular heparinoids should be given high-risk patients provided there no major contraindications. The concern would bleeding but some alternate drugs must considered thrombosis (i.e., context heparin-induced thrombocytopenia). immediate long-term treatment offull dose anticoagulation for may not appropriate as therapy represents balance between risks related anticoagulant versus recurrent events. An inferior vena cava (IVC) filter another option necessarily best choice most Given diseases, early recognition by clinicians signs symptoms essential.
