Thermally injured patients are at significant risk for thromboembolic complications.

BACKGROUND The incidence of thromboembolic complications such as deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE) in thermally injured patients is considered sufficiently uncommon that routine prophylactic measures are not warranted. Nevertheless, the incidence of DVT/PE may be increasing. METHODS The records of 1,300 patients admitted to our unit from January 1990 to June 1995 were rev...
