Quality of life after DVT
Post Thrombotic Syndrome
Up to 1 million cases per year
Clinical Consequences of DVT
Post-Thrombotic Syndrome (PTS)
• Leg pain, tiredness, swelling, skin changes, ulcers
PTS is common (40%) lifelong complication
• Impairs quality of life, no proven effective treatments
Venous ulcers often recur
• Difficult and expensive to treat
Chronic Venous InsufficiencyChronic venous insufficiency can be painful and disabling.• Pain• Swelling• Cramps• Skin changes• Varicose veins• Leg ulcers
DVT Statistics
300,000 fatalities annuallymore than AIDs, breast cancer, prostate cancer and motor vehicle accidents COMBINED
2,000,000 Americans suffer with DVT
VTE is the 3rd most frequent readmission after total hip or knee joint replacement.
CMS and other payers are reducing payment for
readmissions due to post-
surgical DVT/PE
• CMS “Never Events”• Foreign Object Retained After Surgery• Air Embolism• Blood Incompatibility• Stage III and IV Pressure Ulcers• Falls and Trauma• Manifestations of Poor Glycemic Control• Catheter-Associated Urinary Tract Infection (UTI)• Vascular Catheter-Associated Infection• Surgical Site Infection, Mediastinitis, Following Coronary Artery Bypass Graft (CABG):• Surgical Site Infection Following Bariatric Surgery for Obesity• Surgical Site Infection Following Certain Orthopedic Procedures• Surgical Site Infection Following Cardiac Implantable Electronic Device (CIED)• Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT)/Pulmonary Embolism (PE) Following Certain Orthopedic Procedures:• Total Knee Replacement• Hip Replacement
• Iatrogenic Pneumothorax with Venous Catheterization
Basic Terms
DVT (Deep Vein Thrombosis)PE (Pulmonary Embolism)VTE (Venous Thromboembolism)
DVT is a PROBLEM
STATS & NEWS & AWARENESS
2 MILLION ANNUALLY
Starts with a DVT
DVT Prevention DVT Detection (S&A) DVT Treatment (Thrombolytics)
David Bloom (1963-2003)Fatal PE
• David Bloom developed a DVT after extensive travel and cramped conditions in a Humvee ”Bloom-Mobile” while broadcasting news coverage of the Iraq War.
• David’s wife, Melanie, used this tragedy to begin raising awareness around the condition that took David’s life = DVT. • Today awareness of DVT is 10-fold due in
large part to David’s HIGH PROFILE death & Melanie’s crusade to explain “THE WHY”
Chris Bosh2015: Multiple DVTs ending his NBA career
Regis Philbin2010: DVT following hip replacement surgery
Serena Williams2017: PE following C-section2011: PE following foot surgeries & travel
Jimmy Stewart1997: Fatal PE after multiple DVTs
DVT CAN BE PREVENTED
Mechanical Prophylaxis Pharmacological Prophylaxis
Many Authorities = Surgeon General, AHRQ, CDC, AORN Guidelines, Accrediting Agencies, John’s
Hopkins, Emory University, Oregon ASC Workgroup 2014, ACCP Guidelines, Ortho & OBGYN Guidelines &

ACCP Guidelines for the Prevention of VTE 2012
In patients undergoing THA or TKA, we recommend use of one of the following for a minimum of 10 to 14 daysrather than no antithrombotic prophylaxis: low-molecular-weight heparin (LMWH), fondaparinux, apixaban, dabigatran, rivaroxaban, low- dose unfractionated heparin (LDUH), adjusted-dose VKA, aspirin (all Grade 1B), or an intermittent pneumatic compression device (IPCD) (Grade 1C).
We recommend the use of only portable, battery-powered IPCDs capable of recording and reporting proper wear time on a daily basis for inpatients and outpatients. Efforts should be made to achieve 18 h of daily compliance.
• Orthopedic Guideline for Prevention• NonOrthopedic Guiideline for Prevention• NonSurgical Guideline for Prevention
MUST BE A PROTOCOL IN FACILITY & AT HOME
• Total Joints – CMS – Readmissions – Penalties – Coming to ASC’s• 40-80% get a DVT without prophylaxis. There simply must be a protocol
• 1.5M Total Joints last year = expected to grow to 7.5M in 10 years.

Blood clots, which form when blood doesn’t flow properly, can happento anyone, including travelers on long plane rides in cramped seats,women on birth control drugs, or seemingly healthy people with noknown risk factors.
Almost half of clots strike patients when they are in the hospital orsoon after discharge, ranking them among the most common causes ofpreventable deaths. Guidelines for preventing clots are in place, yetstudies show that 40% to 60% of patients who would benefit don'treceive appropriate treatments. They aren’t given anticlotting drugsbecause hospitals don’t reliably administer them and patientssometimes refuse them.
Now, many hospitals are intensifying their clot-prevention as theyincur more financial penalties in the form of reduced payments fromfederal and state health agencies if patients develop clots while undertheir care. Hospitals are using electronic medical records to moreprecisely identify patients’ risk levels, holding refresher trainingsessions for nurses, and providing patients with educational materialson the dangers of blood clots.
Clots, known by the medical term venous thromboembolism, typicallystart in the deep veins of the leg or arm. Those clots are called deepvein thrombosis. When a part of the clot breaks off and travels to thelung, it can cause a pulmonary embolism, or blockage. There are about900,000 cases of deep vein thrombosis in the U.S. each year, and about30% will become pulmonary embolisms. Of those, about a third arefatal. Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton takes aprescription blood-thinning drug as a result of suffering blood clots in
