Abstract

Among hospitalized patients, injury represents the single most significant risk factor for the development of venous thromboembolism. Without any form of prophylaxis, either deep venous thrombosis or pulmonary embolism will occur inn up to 55% of patients. In this chapter, we review the incidence, pathogenesis, risk factors, prophylaxis, and treatment of venous thromboembolism following trauma.
