1 Hypercoagulability How to Expect the Unexpected Beth Saft, DO VOMA Conference 2012

2 Who is at Risk Most Common Hypercoagulability Objectives + When to Test What to do with the Test Results

3 Who gets a DVT General Population: 1 in :100 if > age 80yrs Hip Replacement: 5 in 1000 Knee Replacement: 10 in ,000 to 600,000 DVTs per year 60,000 to 100,000 deaths attributable to PE.

20 2012 ACCP Guidelines General Abdominal Surgery Very Low Risk ambulate Low Risk IPC Moderate Risk LMWH or LDUH High Risk LMWH + IPC High Risk + Cancer LMWH x 4 weeks (ASA, fondaparinux, IPC alterative opt)

21 2012 ACCP Guidelines Depends on Risk Level for: Thoracic Surgery Neurosurgery Hospitalized Acutely ill Hospitalized Critically ill Trauma, lower leg vs major Travel long distance stockings

22 Risk Prediction Scores Rogers Score Surgery type, physical status, work RVUs, Cancer, Lab values (Na, bili, albumin), etc. Caprini Score 2005 Surgery type, Hx or FHx DVT, HIT, thrombophilia, BMI, OCP, pregnancy, varicose veins

23 New ACCP Guidelines Cancer Outpatient + Risk Factors/Chemo: LMWH or LDUH NOT Warfarin
