Purpose: Deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary thromboembolism are major causes of death after severe multiple trauma. Although various means of prevention have been presented and utilized, still, there are no standard guidelines for anticoagulation of multiple trauma because of some contraindications. Methods: A retrospective study of adult major trauma patients whose injury severity scores (ISSs) were over 16 and who had visited one university hospital in Daegu city was performed. We compared some features of patients diagnosed DVT or PTE with those of patients without DVT by computed tomography or ultra sonography. Those features included accompanying various kinds of intracranial hemorrhages, possibility of ambulation, emergent operation, early transfusion, and suspicious symptoms. Results: The mean age of the 58 subjects included in this study was $50.9{\pm}17.2years$, the mean ISS was $22.7{\pm}6.0$, and the mean hospital stay was $55.2{\pm}37.9days$. Ten(17.2%) patients had emergent surgery, and 44(75.9%) experienced delayed surgery. Early transfusion was needed in 34(58.6%) patients. Among the 18 patients diagnosed with DVT, accompanying intracranial hemorrhages were noted in 8(44.4%) patients; one of the 8 also had PTE. Among the same 18 patients, early transfusions were required in 11(61.1%) patients; one of the 11 also had PTE. Conclusion: The risk of DVT is increased in cases of severe multiple trauma, and many difficulties in applying anticoagulants are experienced. Though we need additional studies to decide proper prophylaxis for DVT and PTE, if the patient's general condition permits, a screening test for DVT as soon as possible could be an effective method to reduce the possibility of a bad outcome.

Purpose: Augmentation mammoplasty by cohesive silicone gel implant is becoming more popular nowadays. Many types of complications have been reported, such as hematoma, seroma, infection, capsular contracture and etc. But there were no report of deep vein thrombosis(DVT) after augmentation mammoplasty in Korea. The authors experienced one case of DVT after augmentation mammoplasty using a cohesive silicone gel implant. Methods: A 38-year-old woman with breast cancer underwent reconstruction by tissue expander and augmentation mammoplasty by cohesive silicone gel implant, and exchange of expander to cohesive silicone gel implant. The operation was finished without any complicating event. On 4th day after the operation, the patient complained of intermittent right lower leg pain. By doppler ultrasonography, the patient was diagnosed with acute venous thrombosis of the popliteal vein, posterior tibial vein and peroneal vein. Results: Intravenous heparinization and oral warfarin were started immediately and elastic compression stocking was applied. Intravenous heparinization was continued until INR (blood coagulation unit) reached to target levels. The patient was discharged on 11th day of operation with oral warfarin. Other complication has not been reported after 10 weeks of operation. Conclusion: To our knowledge, this is the first report of DVT after silicone implant based breast augmentation.

Purpose: Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) is the cause of fatal diseases such as pulmonary embolism, due to a prolonged immobility, surgery, paralysis, and injuries. This study aimed to develop an evidence-based practice guideline for DVT prevention and apply it to patients with surgery in diverse nursing sites in South Korea. Methods: A 24-staged processes of adaptation was carried out on the basis of "adaptation of nursing practical guidelines" developed by Gu et al., in 2012. Results: Developed nursing guidelines of DVT prevention are composed of 79 recommendations in 8 domains. The extent and ratings of each recommendation with its evidence were addressed along with the background information. Conclusion: The developed DVT prevention guideline is necessary to be added to the evidence-based practice guidelines for the fundamentals of nursing practice. The developed guideline is needed to be disseminated to diverse nursing clinical settings in order to prevent DVT and enhance the quality nursing care.

Venous thromboembolism represents as an obstruction of a vein by a blood clot in the blood stream. The most common manifestations of venous thromboembolism (VTE) are pulmonary embolism and deep vein thrombosis (DVT) of the lower extremity. This article reviews the recent advances in this spectrum and introduces new drugs that will be used in venous thromboembolism in the near future.

Background: Information regarding the incidence and risk factors for deep vein thrombosis (DVT) detected by follow-up computed tomographic (CT) venography after pulmonary embolism (PE) is sparse. The aim of the present study was to identify the predictors of DVT in follow-up CT images, and to elucidate their clinical significance. Methods: Patients with PE were classified into the following three cohorts based on the time of indirect CT venography follow-up: within 1 month, 1 to 3 months, and 3 to 9 months after the initial CT scan. Each cohort was subdivided into patients with or without DVT detected by follow-up CT. Clinical variables were compared between the two groups. Results: Follow-up CT revealed DVT in 61% of patients with PE within 1 month, in 15% of patients with PE at 1 to 3 months, and in 9% of patients with PE at 3 to 9 months after the initial CT scan. Right ventricular (RV) dilation on the initial CT (odds ratio [OR], 8.30; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.89-36.40; p=0.005) and proximal DVT at the initial presentation (OR, 6.93; 95% CI, 1.90-25.20; p=0.003) were found to independently predict DVT in follow-up CT images within 1 month, proximal DVT at the initial presentation was found to independently predict DVT in follow-up CT images at 1 to 3 months (OR, 6.69; 95% CI, 1.53-29.23; p=0.012), and central PE was found to independently predict DVT in follow-up CT images at 3 to 9 months (OR, 4.25; 95% CI, 1.22-4.83; p=0.023) after the initial CT scan. Furthermore, the detection of DVT by follow-up CT independently predicted the recurrence of venous thromboembolism (VTE) (OR, 4.67; 95% CI, 2.24-9.74; p<0.001). Conclusion: Three months after PE, DVT was not detected by follow-up CT in most patients with PE. RV dilation on the initial CT, central PE, and proximal DVT at the initial presentation were found to predict DVT on follow-up CT, which might predict VTE recurrence.

Background: Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE) are conditions with significant morbidity and mortality. Proximal DVT has a significant association with PE and possible fatal outcomes. Traditionally, PE is subdivided into symptomatic PE and asymptomatic PE, which have different treatments, preventions and prognoses. The growing utilization of computed tomography pulmonary angiography has led to increased detection of PE in DVT patients. This study examined the clinical characteristics and compared symptomatic PE and asymptomatic PE following proximal DVT. Methods: The medical records of 258 DVT inpatients from July, 2012 to June, 2015 were reviewed retrospectively. After excluding the patients who did not performed PE evaluation and were not diagnosed with PE, 95 patients diagnosed with PE following proximal DVT were enrolled in this study. They were divided into the symptomatic PE group and asymptomatic PE group. Results: The body weight, body mass index, thrombus size, thrombus length and location were similar in the two groups. The symptomatic PE following proximal DVT group showed an older age, higher incidence of emergency department access (85.0% vs. 38.7%, p<0.001) and preceding infection (25.0% vs. 1.3%, p<0.001) as well as a higher incidence of immobilization (45.0% vs 13.3%, p=0.016). In the multivariate logistic regression study, preceding infection and emergency department access showed significant association with symptomatic PE. Conclusion: In proximal DVT inpatients, symptomatic PE was associated with emergency department access and preceding infection. The possibility of a symptomatic PE event should be considered in proximal DVT patients, especially those who were admitted through the emergency department and had preceding infection.
