Revisiting Essential Thrombosis Risk Assessment Principles Everyone Needs To Remember

This video is dedicated to the Egyptian venous forum. A quick reminder to everyone why thrombosis risk assessment is so critical in preventing the #1 PREVENTABLE leading cause of death after surgery (Pulmonary Embolism).

What you will learn in this video:
* The Caprini Score increases in direct proportion to the incidence of clinically relevant VTE events.
* Identifying those at high risk varies according to the population tested, and the original concept that everyone with a score of 5+ is high risk is no longer true.
* Some patients with a score of 5 or 6 may be spared anticoagulants.
* The set point for high-risk patients needing prophylaxis is varied.
* Studies have now identified a very high-risk group that may benefit from extended anticoagulant prophylaxis.
