Thromboprophylaxis and DVT Care

At OPHA Rehabilitation Hospital in Chennai, we prioritize comprehensive thromboprophylaxis and deep vein thrombosis (DVT) care to safeguard our patients' health and enhance recovery outcomes. DVT involves the formation of blood clots in deep veins, typically in the lower extremities, and can lead to serious complications such as pulmonary embolism if not properly managed.

Our Thromboprophylaxis and DVT Care Services

We implement a multifaceted approach to prevent and manage DVT:

Risk Assessment: Upon admission, we evaluate each patient's risk factors for DVT, including immobility, recent surgery, or underlying medical conditions, to tailor preventive strategies accordingly.

Pharmacologic Prophylaxis: For patients at moderate to high risk, we administer anticoagulant medications such as low-molecular-weight heparin (LMWH) or unfractionated heparin (UFH) to prevent clot formation.

Mechanical Prophylaxis: In cases where anticoagulant therapy is contraindicated, we utilize mechanical methods like intermittent pneumatic compression (IPC) devices to enhance blood flow and reduce clotting risk.

Early Mobilization: Encouraging patients to engage in movement as soon as medically feasible is a cornerstone of our DVT prevention strategy, promoting circulation and reducing venous stasis.

Patient and Staff Education: We provide ongoing education to both our healthcare team and patients about DVT risks, prevention methods, and the importance of adherence to prophylactic measures.
