In this episode of CLOT Conversations, we discuss the newly developed Orthopedic Surgery VTE Thromboprophylaxis Guideline Summary. Dr. Marc Carrier, a hematologist and key author, highlights the need for a multidisciplinary approach in managing venous thromboembolism (VTE) risks, particularly in orthopedic surgery. The conversation covers preoperative risk assessments, options for pharmacological and mechanical thromboprophylaxis, and the evolving landscape of surgical techniques that influence thrombosis risk. The episode emphasizes the importance of providing clinicians with practical tools to effectively navigate VTE prevention.
