Course Description
The ACP developed this clinical practice guideline on prophylaxis of VTE in hospitalized nonsurgical patients. It recommends assessing the risk for thromboembolism and bleeding in medical (including stroke) patients before initiation of VTE prophylaxis. It also recommends that clinicians administer prophylaxis with heparin or a related drug only when the likely benefits outweigh the risk for bleeding complications and against mechanical prophylaxis with graduated compression stockings.
