VTE Prevention Resources

New resources for clinicians and patients to support the implementation of recommendations from the 2009 Clinical Practice Guideline for the Prevention of Venous Thromboembolism (Deep Vein Thrombosis and Pulmonary Embolism) in Patients Admitted to Australian Hospitals are now available from the NHMRC website. The guideline provides practical, evidence-based recommendations for the prevention of VTE in adult surgical and medical patients and pregnant women admitted to Australian metropolitan, regional and rural hospitals.
