Prevention of venous thromboembolism in the Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) setting: an evidence-based review.

[heparin-induced thrombocytopenia]

To review the evidence surrounding appropriate prophylaxis for venous thromboembolism (VTE ) in patients undergoing surgery .Appropriate prophylactic strategies for surgical patients have been defined in major society guidelines . We review the evidence behind these guidelines in a case-based format , including patients with a high risk of bleeding , history of heparin-induced thrombocytopenia , obesity , and cancer . Selecting the most suitable means for VTE prophylaxis includes evaluating patient , anesthetic , and surgical factors . Nevertheless , pharmacologic VTE prophylaxis will be appropriate for the vast majority of inpatients undergoing surgery .Venous thromboembolism is a serious but preventable complication of hospitalization , especially among surgical patients . Historically , it has accounted for a high burden of postoperative morbidity and mortality . In the Enhanced Recovery After Surgery era , our aim should be no less ambitious than the eradication of postoperative VTE .
