Trial of the Week: UFH v. LMWH for Trauma VTE Prophylaxis

Special Guest: Brandon Hobbs, PharmD, BCPS, BCCCP, FCCM

Brandon Hobbs joins to discuss the landmark article “A comparison of low-dose heparin with low-molecular-weight heparin as prophylaxis against venous thromboembolism after major trauma” published in the New England Journal of Medicine.

We review the history of VTE prophylaxis in trauma, what this study ultimately found, how long did it impact practice, what regimen is guideline-recommended today, practices from other centers across the country, and much, more.
