Post-operative deepvein thrombosis is infrequent in Alaska Natives.
OBJECTIVES The expected rate of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) after laparotomy or major joint surgery has been reported to be 20 to 50% for unprophylaxed non-native patients. DVT prophylaxis for surgical patients at the Alaska native Medical Center has typically not been offered as the perceived rate of DVT and pulmonary embolism in our patient population has been very low. Retrospective analysis ...
متن کاملStrategies for Diagnosing Deep Vein Thrombosis
Economic evaluations are used in the health care sector to help decision makers allocate resources. The objective of this study is to evaluate the cost effectiveness of a new diagnostic algorithm of deep vein thrombosis.

متن کاملIs it worth diagnosing and treating distal deep vein thrombosis? No.
The standard diagnostic approach to suspected deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is serial lower limb compression ultrasound (CUS) of proximal veins. Although it only assesses the proximal veins, withholding anticoagulant treatment in patients with a negative CUS on day 1 and after 1 week has been proved safe. In particular, studies evaluating CUS limited to the proximal veins showed a good safety prof...

متن کاملThe Efficiency of Hamilton Pretest Probability Value in Diagnosing Deep Vein Thrombosis
Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a condition, in which an obstruction of blood flow in veins is found due to the formation of blood clots in the deep veins. An objective diagnosis of DVT is based on ultrasonography examination. However, in poor countries, including Indonesia, many hospitals still do not have the facilities of ultrasonography, less vascular specialists, or D-dimer examination and t...
