Venous thromboembolism (VTE) has historically remained a risk factor for obstetric patients, particularly those requiring cesarean section. The objective of this survey was to assess the response of general obstetricians to risk factor considerations for VTE prophylaxis and cesarean section.
A survey regarding VTE prophylaxis and cesarean section was sent to 113 obstetricians practicing in suburban Chicago and northern Wisconsin.
There were 51 responses (45%) to the survey. Most respondents do not routinely use VTE prophylaxis for cesarean section in patients who may have one or more risk factors.
There appears to be lack of consensus or appreciation for VTE and prophylaxis for cesarean section. Further studies and education are warranted.
静脉血栓栓塞症（VTE）一直以来都是产科患者的一个风险因素，尤其是那些需要剖宫产的患者。本次调查的目的是评估普通产科医生对VTE预防和剖宫产风险因素考量的反应。
向在芝加哥郊区和威斯康星州北部执业的113名产科医生发送了一份关于VTE预防和剖宫产的调查问卷。
该调查有51份回复（45%）。大多数受访者对于可能有一个或多个风险因素的剖宫产患者，并不常规使用VTE预防措施。
对于VTE和剖宫产预防措施似乎缺乏共识或重视。有必要进行进一步的研究和教育。
