Cesarean delivery approximately doubles the risk of venous thromboembolism, but in the otherwise normal patient, this risk is still

low (approximately 1 per 1,000 patients). Given this increased risk, and based on extrapolation from perioperative data, placement of pneumatic compression devices before cesarean delivery is

recommended for all women not already receiving thromboprophylaxis.

Venous Thromboembolism Prevention Maternal Safety Bundle

Readiness• Every unit

• Use a standardized thromboembolism risk assessment tool during:

• Outpatient prenatal care

• Antepartum hospitalization

• Hospitalization after cesarean or vaginal birth

• Postpartum period (up to 6 weeks after birth)

Venous Thromboembolism Prevention Maternal Safety Bundle

Recognition and Prevention• Every patient

• Apply standardized tool to all patients to assess venous thromboembolism risk at time points designated under Readiness

• Apply standardized tool to identify appropriate patients for thromboprophylaxis

• Provide patient education

• Provide all health care providers education regarding risk assessment tools and recommended thromboprophylaxis

Response• Every unit

• Use standardized recommendations for mechanical thromboprophylaxis

• Use standardized recommendations for dosing of prophylactic and therapeutic pharmacologic anticoagulation

• Use standardized recommendations for appropriate timing of pharmacologic prophylaxis with neuraxial anesthesia

Venous Thromboembolism Prevention Maternal Safety Bundle

Reporting and Systems Learning• Every unit

• Review all thromboembolism events for systems issues and compliance with protocols

• Monitor process metrics and outcomes in a standardized fashion

• Assess for complications of pharmacologic thromboprophylaxis

• Standardization of health care processes and reduced variation

• Low risk – No Prophylaxis

• If high risk based on scoring system –Consider LMWH or UFH

• Pharmacologic prophylaxis if risk factors

• Hospitals may choose pharmacologic prophylaxis for all

• Timing

• Prophylactic UFH – when postcesarean patients otherwise meet criteria for postanesthesia care unit discharge
