Screening for Deep Vein Thrombosis in Intensive Care
Background: venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a common complication in critically ill patients, admitted to the Intensive Care Units (ICUs). At the present time, there is no validated score to estimate risks and benefits of antithrombotic pharmacological prophylaxis in this subset of patients. Results of a pilot study showed that ultrasound …
Diagnosing Deep-vein Thrombosis Early in Critically Ill Patients
The DETECT randomized controlled trial addresses the question of whether surveillance ultrasound in critically ill patients by facilitating DVT detection reduces the incidence of PE and lowers all-cause 90-day mortality. The primary outcome is 90-day all-cause mortality.
Compression Ultrasonography in Non-high Probability of Deep Vein Thrombosis
Compression ultrasound is commonly used in emergency department. Accuracy to rule out deep vein thrombosis is excellent but lower then Ddimer assessment which is actually gold standard. With progress in formation of emergency physicians (EP), quality of material used, the investigators hypothesize that compression ultrasound can rule out deep vein …
Avoiding Risks of Thrombosis and Bleeding in Surgery (ARTS) Trial
Avoiding Risks of Thrombosis and bleeding in Surgery (ARTS) trial is a pragmatic, international, multicenter, randomized controlled open label trial comparing a direct oral anticoagulant (DOAC) - oral factor Xa inhibitor apixaban - to no anticoagulant among 5,436 patients undergoing abdominal or pelvic surgery at sufficiently similar (and not high) …
Alerting Providers at Patient Hospital Discharge to Consider Prescribing Rivaroxaban to Reduce Venous Thromboembolism
A new algorithm derived from only patient age and components of the complete blood count and basic metabolic panel can identify patients discharged from the hospital who may benefit from a blood thinner (called rivaroxaban) to decrease their risk of blood clots, and for whom the risk of bleeding is …
InDividual, Targeted ThrombosIS Prophylaxis Versus the Standard 'one Size Fits All' Approach in Patients Undergoing Total HIp or Total KNee ReplaCemenT
After hip or knee replacement all patients receive a standardized treatment with blood thinners, this medication is called thrombosis prophylaxis. However, despite this standard treatment some individuals still develop venous thrombosis (VTE), while others experience bleeding. This indicates that not all patients have the same VTE risk following surgery. Individualizing …
Tunneled Peripherally Inserted Central Catheter (PICC) in Adult Patients and Associated Outcomes
The aim of this multicenter randomized clinical trial is to compare the tunneling technique of PICC insertion with the non-tunneled insertion technique in the incidence of the combined or isolated outcome of catheter-related bloodstream primary infection, thrombosis, obstruction, and accidental dislodgement in the adult population within a period of up …
Screening for Occult Malignancy in Patients With Unprovoked Venous Thromboembolism
Venous thromboembolism (VTE) can be the earliest sign of cancer. Identifying occult cancers at the time of VTE diagnosis may lead to significant improvement of patients' care. This is also an upmost issue for patients who want to know if an underlying cancer might have triggered the VTE. An individual …
RIVAroxaban Versus Low-molecular Weight Heparin in Patients With Lower Limb Trauma Requiring Brace or CASTing
Lower limb trauma requiring immobilization is a very frequent condition that is associated with an increased risk of developing venous thromboembolism (VTE). The TRiP(cast) score has been developed to provide individual VTE risk stratification and help in thromboprophylactic anticoagulation decision. The recent CASTING study had confirmed that patients with a …
GEKO Venous Thromboembolism Prevention Study
This multicentre, randomised geko™ venous thromboembolism (VTE) prevention study will prospectively collect clinical data on VTE occurrences in immobile patients after stroke, who will be randomised, on a 1:1 allocation, to receive either standard of care (Intermittent Pneumatic Compression) or geko™ neuromuscular electrostimulation device. The aim is to assess the …
