A survey by questionnaire was conducted amongst consultant plastic surgeons in the UK: 54 replies were received (44% response rate). Three consultants (5.5%) never used any form of DVT prophylaxis. The other 51 (94%) used some form of prophylaxis in at-risk patients. The methods used were found to be diverse. Ten respondents belonged to units with fixed policies for prophylaxis. A controlled trial is suggested to provide statistical evidence of the need for thromboembolic prophylaxis among plastic surgical patients. We believe there is a need for units to develop fixed protocols for the prevention of thromboembolism in at-risk patients.
共收到54份回复（回复率为44%）。三位顾问医生（5.5%）从未使用过任何形式的深静脉血栓预防措施。其他51位（94%）在高危患者中使用了某种形式的预防措施。发现所采用的方法多种多样。十位受访者所在的单位有固定的预防政策。建议进行一项对照试验，以提供整形外科患者预防血栓栓塞必要性的统计证据。我们认为各单位有必要制定针对高危患者预防血栓栓塞的固定方案。
