Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is an important patient safety issue and potentially a life or limb threatening complication that can occur following plastic surgery. Patients are at different levels of VTE risk, based on patient-centric and procedure-specific risks. The following review discusses the paradigms of risk identification, risk modification and risk reduction for VTE risk in plastic surgery, with an ultimate goal of reducing VTE risk and improving patient safety.
静脉血栓栓塞症(VTE)是一个重要的患者安全问题,也是整形手术后可能出现的危及生命或肢体的并发症。基于以患者为中心和特定手术的风险,患者处于不同水平的VTE风险。以下综述讨论了整形手术中VTE风险的风险识别、风险修正和风险降低模式,最终目标是降低VTE风险并提高患者安全性。
