Comparative Study
Thromboprophylaxis and VTE Rates in Soldiers Wounded in Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Iraqi Freedom.
US soldiers suffer catastrophic injuries during combat. We sought to define risk factors and rates for VTE in this population. ⋯ Patients who suffer traumatic injuries in combat overseas are at high risk for VTE during evacuation and recovery. Those with large resuscitations are at particularly high risk, and low-molecular-weight heparin is associated with a decrease in VTE.
