In this recap from the 12th Annual Pediatric Surgery Update Course, Drs. Regan Williams and Katie Russell delve into the latest approaches to deep vein thrombosis (DVT) prophylaxis in pediatric trauma patients. Learn when to start chemical prophylaxis, how to balance bleeding risks, and the best options for discharge medication.

Key Points Covered:

Timing is Critical: Start chemical DVT prophylaxis within 24 hours of admission for stable trauma patients to reduce the risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE).
Guideline Recommendations: Follow EAST guidelines and assess factors like Injury Severity Score (ISS) to determine risk levels.
Discharge Medications: Recent studies show aspirin is as effective as Lovenox for DVT prevention and offers easier compliance for pediatric patients at home.

Join us as we explore how new evidence is shaping DVT prevention strategies in pediatric trauma care. Don’t forget to like, comment, and subscribe for more updates from the Pediatric Surgery Update Course!
