Outlines

• Epidemiology • Pathophysiology • Risk factors • Symptoms • Diagnosis • Prevention guidelines • Summary


VTE= DVT+PE


Epidemiology

• 350.000 to 600.000 Americans suffer each year from DVT and PE

• 100.000 death 2ry to PE • most common preventable cause of

hospital death Never events. # 1 priority to improve safety in hospitals


Epidemiology • Incidence of symptomatic VTE after

abdominal surgeries occurs up to 3.1% with risk of fatal perioperative PE 0.8%

• Incidence of asymptomatic DVT 25-30% in General surgery patients 20-30% PTS

• 70 % VTE after hospital discharge (within 90 days). Risk 10-50 times


2003 Nationwide Inpatient Sample

Surgical patients with LOS>2 days 7.8 million 44% low risk 14% moderate risk 24% high risk 17% very high risk Many surgical patients at risk for VTE Anderson et al. Am J Hematol. 2007;82:777-782


Pathophysiology

• Anticoagulants (prostacyclin, thrombomodulin, heparin proteoglycan)

• Flow • Endothelial integrity Procoagulant and proinflammatory conditions involving tissue factor, P-selectin, platelets, monocytes, granulocytes, microparticles


Virchow’s Triade www.downstatesurgery.org

•


Surgical Risk factors • Type and extent of surgery or trauma • Type of anesthesia • Duration of hospital stay • A history of previous VTE or cancer • Immobility/ obesity • Perioperative Sepsis • Malignancy • Central venous access • Hyper-coagulable state • Caucasians and African Americans


Risk of DVT in hospitalized patients No PPx with DVT screening

Patient group DVT incidence

Medical Patients 10-20%

Major GYN/Uro/GS 15-40%

Neurosurgery 15-40%

Stroke 20-50%

Hip/Knee surgery 40-60%

Major trauma 40-80%

Spinal cord injury 60-80%

Critical care patients 15-80%


VTE Consequences

• Leg swelling and discomfort • Dyspnea, chest pain, hypoxemia • Extended hospital LOS • Fatal PE (34% diagnosed/ 59% undiagnosed) • Complications of prolonged anticoagulation • Postphlebitic syndrome

Chronic pulmonary HTN (PAP>25 mmhg. Persists 6 months after PE


DVT Diagnosis

Physical exam Pain, edema, erythema, tenderness, fever,

prominent superficial veins, Homan’s sign Imaging Duplex ultrasound

The ACCP guidelines recommend against routine

screening for VTE with Doppler ultrasonography before discharge if the patient is asymptomatic.


Perioperative VTE Prevention

• Patient specific factors/ Risk Stratification. using evidence based scoring systems • Procedure Specific factors • prophylaxis Based on RA, risk/benefit, efficacy/safety and

evidence based guidelines


Rogers VTE Risk Assessment Grading System


Rogers VTE Risk Assessment Grading System


Caprini VTE Risk Assessment Grading System


Bahl et al. Ann Surg. 2010;251:344-350


Prevention of VTE

Mechanical prophylaxis • Intermittent pneumatic compression therapy • Continous external compression therapy Pharmaco-prophylaxis • Low dose Unfractionated heparin (UFH) • Low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) • Fondparinux • New oral anticoagulants • Warfarin • Aspirin Vena Caval interruption (EAST)


Evidence: anticoagulant thrombo-

prophylaxis in general surgery • Unfractionated heparin (UFH) reduces risk of

fatal PE by 66% • Low-molecular weight heparin (LMWH)

reduces risk of symptomatic VTE by 80% in patients undergoing abdominal surgery

• Prophylactic anticoagulants reduce the risk of silent DVT by 30-70%


UFH vs. LMWH Non-randomized prospective- laparoscopic gastric bypass 238 –UFH 5,000 units TID; 238 enoxaparin 40mg BID 1 PE in UFH Postop transfusion: enoxaparin vs UFH: 6% vs 1% Conclusion Equivalent efficacy for VTE prophylaxis LMWH- better Biovability and more predictable effect Singh, Podolsky et al. Obesity Surgery (2012). 22:4


UFH vs. LMWH

LMWH UFH More expensive Less expensive less frequent dosing More dosing Longer half life Shorter half life Contraindicated in renal failure Greater safety in pts with

epidural catheters

Lower risk of HIT Higher risk of HIT



ACCP 9th Edition Guidelines General and abdominal-pelvic surgery

• Caprini = 0 / Rogers Score: < 7 ( very low VTE risk <0.5%)

• Ambulation • No pharmacological (1B) or mechanical ppx

(2C) is needed Harms > benefits (4-10 bleeds/1000 pts vs. 0-3

nonfatal VTE)



• Caprini=1-2/ Rogers Score: 7-10 ( Low VTE risk ~ 1.5%) • Use mechanical ppx (IPC) over nothing (2C) • Harms = benefits with pharmacologic ppx

(19/1000 vs. 13/1000)



• Caprini=3-4/ Rogers Score: >10 (moderate VTE risk ~ 3%)

• Not at high bleeding risk, use LMWH (2B), UFH (2B), or mechanical ppx (IPC)(2C) over none

– 2 fold more VTE prevented than bleeding events • High bleeding risk, use mechanical ppx (2C)



• Caprini >5 (high VTE risk ~ 6%)

• Not at high bleeding risk, use LMWH (1B), UFH (1B), and add mechanical ppx (2C)

• High bleeding risk, use mechanical ppx (2C) until bleeding risk less; then start pharmaco-ppx.



• Abdominal or pelvic surgery for cancer • History of VTE • Spinal cord injury Extended Duration thrombo-ppx Recommend LMWH x 4 weeks (1B)


• Cardiac: similar, but IPC for non complicated po course; add pharmacologic for complicated po course (2C)

• Thoracic: pharmacologic (2B) and IPC (2C) • Trauma: IPC + pharmacologic prophylaxis (2B)

IVC filter should NOT be used for primary prevention (2C)


ACCP 9th Edition Guidelines (Critically ill medical patients)

• At High risk of thrombosis, use LMWH, LDUH, or fondaparinux (1B)

• At High risk for bleeding, Mechanical ppx (IPC) (2C)


Pharmacologic Thrombo-prophylaxis Considerations

• UFH – Initiate 1-2 hours prior to induction of general anesthesia – TID dosing superior to BID dosing • If pharmacologic thrombo-prophylaxis is

indicated, continue until hospital discharge or at least 7 days postoperatively





Relative Contraindications to pharmacologic prophylaxis

• Severe head injuries • Nonoperatively managed liver or spleen injuries • Renal failure • Spinal column fracture with epidural hematoma • Severe thrombocytopenia and coagulopathy Chest. 2012; 141;e227S-e277S


Treatment of Acute VTE

• Delay in initiation of therapeutic anti-coagulation >24 hrs is associated with increased rate of VTE

• Use LMWH or fondaparinux over IV UFH (2C) • Use anticoagulant therapy over systemic

thrombolysis or venous thrombectomy (2C) • Contraindication to anti-coagulation, an IVC

filter is recommended (1B)


Treatment of Acute VTE

1st VTE unprovoked -At the end of 3 mon. -If no CI -During long term Rx

At least 3 mon. Assess for long term Rx Long term Rx Assess Risk/benefit

1A 1C 1A 1C

Recurrent VTE Long term Rx. 1A

1A 1C


Strategies to improve VTE ppx

• Hospital policy of risk assessment • Electronic alerts to prevent VTE • computer decision-support systems • preprinted orders • Reliable data collection and performance

tracking • periodic audit and feedback


NEW ENGLAND SURGICAL SOCIETY ARTICLES Reducing Postoperative Venous

Thromboembolism Complications with a Standardized Risk-Stratified Prophylaxis Protocol

and Mobilization Program Michael R Cassidy, MD, Pamela Rosenkranz, RN, BSN, MEd, David McAneny, MD, FACS

• Standardized electronic physician orders • Caprini risk stratification. The derived scores

dictate the nature and the duration of VTE ppx • comparing 2 years before and after

implementing trial with NSQIP VTE outcomes • DVT decreased by 84% from 1.9% to 0.3% • PE fell by 55% from 1.1% to 0.5%


Conclusion

• VTE remains a substantial health problem in the US

• prophylaxis remains underutilized • VTE risk factor stratification on admission • Identify contraindications to prophylaxis • Order risk appropriate VTE prophylaxis • Reassess VTE risk factors and contraindications

during hospital stay • IVC filters are not recommended as primary VTE

prophylaxis
