Screening and Prophylaxis for Venous Thromboembolism in Pediatric Surgery: A Systematic Review
Topic overview
This systematic review by APSA's Outcomes Committee examines VTE risk in pediatric surgical and trauma populations to establish evidence-based screening and prophylaxis guidelines. The work addresses the need for standardized approaches to prevent thromboembolic complications in high-risk pediatric patients.
Key takeaways
- APSA committee systematically reviewed VTE epidemiology in pediatric surgical and trauma populations.
- Review aimed to establish evidence-based screening protocols for VTE in children undergoing surgery.
- Prophylaxis recommendations developed specifically for pediatric surgical patients at risk for VTE.
- Addresses gap in pediatric-specific VTE prevention guidelines compared to adult protocols.
