NCT03286985 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 200

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Deep venous thrombosis (DVT) represents a major problem in intensive care unit (ICU) patients. Despite the use of recommended pharmacological prophylaxis with low molecular weight heparin (LMWH), the incidence of DVT during ICU stay has been reported between 5 and 15 %. The incidence may vary due to many factors, for example the type of ICU population, the type of protocol of pharmacological prophylaxis and also the type of diagnostic approach. Before formerly planned clinical study targeted to lower DVT incidence by individualizing the dose of LMWH, the investigators decided to evaluate the real DVT incidence in the investigated ICU. The prevalence and incidence will be assessed by ultrasound testing in general ICU patients. on the sample of 200 patients. The investigators hypothesize DVT incidence of 5 %. The compliance to the local DVT prophylaxis protocol will be also evaluated.
