Pasien sakit kritis adalah pasien dengan kondisi mengancam nyawa yang membutuhkan penanganan khusus di ruang rawat intensif (intensive care unit; ICU). Hampir semua pasien kritis yang dirawat di ICU memiliki beberapa faktor risiko yang meningkatkan venous thromboembolism (VTE). Venous thromboembolism merupakan komplikasi yang tersembunyi pada pasien sakit kritis yang dapat meningkatkan angka morbiditas dan mortalitas. Venous thromboembolism dapat dicegah dengan tromboprofilaksis yang sesuai dan adekuat. Pedoman pencegahan VTE dikembangkan dalam beberapa dekade salah satunya oleh American College of Chest Physicians (ACCP). Tujuan penelitian ini mengetahui kepatuhan berdasar ketepatan dan kecukupan pemberian tromboprofilaksis terhadap pedoman ACCP. Penelitian deskiripsi observasional retrospektif dilakukan pada Oktober–Desember 2018 terhadap 284 pasien yang dirawat di Unit Perawatan Intensif Rumah Sakit Dr. Hasan Sadikin Bandung periode Januari–Desember 2016. Secara keseluruhan proporsi pasien di ICU yang mendapatkan tromboprofilaksis, yaitu 36,1%. Angka kepatuhan pemberian profilaksis VTE di ICU berdasar pedoman ACCP adalah 21,5%. Pemberian profilaksis VTE yang tidak adekuat terdapat pada 12,4% pasien, sedangkan pemberian profilaksis yang tidak sesuai terdapat pada 2,2% pasien. Simpulan, kepatuhan pemberian tromboprofilaksis terhadap pedoman yang diterbitkan ACCP masih rendah. Adequacy and Accuracy of Venous Thromboembolism Prophylaxis based on American College of Chest Physicians Guideline at Intensive Care Unit of Dr. Hasan Sadikin General Hospital BandungCritically ill patients are patients with life-threatening conditions that require special treatment in the intensive care unit. Almost all critical patients admitted to the ICU have several risk factors that increase the occurrence of Venous thromboembolism (VTE). Venous thromboembolism is a hidden complication in critically ill patients that can increase morbidity and mortality. Venous thromboembolism can be prevented with appropriate and adequate thromboprophylaxis. Several thromboprophylaxis guidelines have been developed during the last decades, including the American College of Chest Physicians (ACCP) guideline. The purpose of this study was to determine the compliance to ACCP guideline by measuring the the accuracy and adequacy of thromboprophylaxis. This retrospective observational descriptive study was conducted from October–December 2018 on 284 patients treated in the Intensive Care Unit of Dr. Hasan Sadikin General Hospital Bandung. The overall proportion of patients in ICU who received thromboprophylaxis was 36.1%. The compliance rate of VTE prophylaxis in ICU based on ACCP guideline was 21.5%. Inadequate VTE prophylaxis was seen in 12.4% of patients while inappropriate prophylaxis was identified in 2.2% of patients. Hence, the compliance to standards on thromboprophylaxis based on the ACCP guideline is still low in this hospital.

Abstract Introduction Burn patients have a high risk of developing venous thromboembolism (VTE) due to extensive immobilization, surgical interventions, endothelial injury, and the presence of polytrauma. Studies have shown VTE rates ranging from 0.25% to 23.3% in this patient population. Although burn patients have a greater risk for VTE compared to other hospitalized patients, there are no standardized guidelines on how to approach VTE prophylaxis in the burn population. In March 2018, the Burn Intensive Care Unit (BICU) implemented a new VTE prophylaxis protocol that stratified patients based on risk factors for VTE. Patients were started on enoxaparin 30mg every 12 hours or 40mg every 12 hours depending on body mass index (BMI). The purpose of this study was to examine compliance with the new protocol and overall rates of VTE in the burn population. Methods A single-center, retrospective analysis was conducted from March 1, 2018 to July 31, 2018. Patients included were admitted to the BICU with a documented burn injury for at least 48 hours and were ≥ 18 years of age. The primary outcome was compliance with the VTE prophylaxis protocol. Secondary outcomes included reasons for non-compliance and incidence of VTE events. Results Out of 105 patients that met inclusion criteria (median age, 53 years [36 to 63]; BMI 27.1 kg/m2 [25.7 to 33.2]; total body surface area 6% [3% to 18%]), the protocol was correctly utilized in 81 patients (77%). The most common reason for non-compliance to the protocol was incorrect dosing (60.9% [14/105]). Of 105 patients, 1 (0.9%) developed a VTE. Conclusions Overall, the compliance to the Burn Intensive Care Unit VTE pharmacologic prophylaxis protocol has room for improvement. Despite following the protocol, one VTE event occurred during the five-month study period. To improve compliance, additional education and training regarding the dosing of and monitoring anti-coagulants was provided to nursing and medical staff.

Consensus Document

Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a potential sequela of injury, surgery, and critical illness. Patients in the Trauma Intensive Care Unit are at risk for this condition, prompting daily discussions during patient care rounds and routine use of mechanical and/or pharmacologic prophylaxis measures. While VTE rightfully garners much attention in clinical patient care and in the medical literature, optimal strategies for VTE prevention are still evolving. Furthermore, trauma and surgical patients often have real or perceived contraindications to prophylaxis that affect the timing of preventive measures and the consistency with which they can be applied. In this Clinical Consensus Document, the American Association for the Surgery of Trauma Critical Care Committee addresses several practical clinical questions pertaining to specific or unique aspects of VTE prophylaxis in critically ill and injured patients.

79 Background: A number of guidelines have been proposed for prolonged venous thromboembolism (VTE) prophylaxis following hospital discharge for cancer patients undergoing major abdominal or pelvic surgery. However, there is disparity in how closely these guidelines are followed. The purpose of this study was to examine the administration and complications of post-discharge chemical VTE prophylaxis (pdVTE) at an institutional level among surgical oncology patients to help inform policy creation. Methods: A retrospective study at a tertiary referral cancer center was performed. Data was analyzed for patients undergoing surgery in 2015. Chi-square tests were performed. Results: Of 566 colorectal, urologic, and gynecologic surgical oncology procedures performed in 2015, 24% (137) were discharged with a prescription for enoxaparin for pdVTE. An additional 24 patients were already on another form of anticoagulation at the time of discharge. Of the patients discharged on pdVTE, 77% (105) had the prescriptions filled. The compliance rate of those patients was 96% (101). The rate of VTE was 3.5% for all patients. There was a significantly greater rate of VTE amongst patients that received pdVTE (10.4%) compared to those who did not (1.6%) (OR 7.20, CI 2.80-18.46, p < 0.001). For each subspecialty, there was also a significantly greater rate of VTE amongst patients that received pdVTE (p < 0.001). Conclusions: There is a very low rate of pdVTE administration despite current guidelines. Identifying patients who received pdVTE appears to identify patients at high risk for VTE rather than the benefits of pdVTE. Institutional policies regarding prolonged VTE prophylaxis should be implemented to target high-risk patients and to ensure appropriate prescribing practices. [Table: see text]

Background. Obesity is a significant issue in the critically ill population. There is little evidence directing the dosing of venous thromboembolism (VTE) prophylaxis within this population. We aimed to determine whether obesity predisposes medical intensive care unit patients to venous thromboembolism despite standard chemoprophylaxis with 5000 international units of subcutaneous heparin three times daily. Results. We found a 60% increased risk of venous thromboembolism in the body mass index (BMI) ≥ 30 kg/m2 group compared to the BMI < 30 kg/m2 group; however, this difference did not reach statistical significance. After further utilizing our risk model, neither obesity nor mechanical ventilation reached statistical significance; however, vasopressor administration was associated with a threefold risk. Conclusions. We can conclude that obesity did increase the rate of VTE, but not to a statistically significant level in this single center medical intensive care unit population.

Background:: Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a serious health care issue that affects a large number of people. Few standards exist for delineating the optimal dosing strategy for VTE prevention in obese patients, especially in the setting of major surgery or trauma. Objective: To document the efficacy of a surgical intensive care unit (SICU)–specific, weight-based dosing protocol of enoxaparin 0.5 mg/kg given subcutaneously every 12 hours for VTE prophylaxis in morbidly obese (defined as body mass index [BMI] ≥35 kg/m2 or weight ≥150 kg) SICU patients, using peak anti-factor Xa levels to determine therapeutic endpoints. Methods: Data were collected retrospectively in an academic, university-based SICU on 23 morbidly obese patients who received weight-based enoxaparin for VTE prophylaxis from December 1, 2008, through June 30, 2010. Results: A weight-based dosage range of enoxaparin 50-120 mg twice daily (median 60) was given to 23 patients. The mean BMI was 46.4 kg/m2. The initial mean anti-factor Xa level (measured after the third dose) was 0.34 IU/mL (range 0.20-0.59). Patients received an average of 18 doses. Two cases required an increase or decrease in dosage based on anti-factor Xa levels. Morbidity related to this dosing included a single event of minor endotracheal bleeding and a single deep vein thrombosis that was likely present prior to treatment. Conclusions: Weight-based dosing with enoxaparin in morbidly obese SICU patients was effective in achieving anti-factor Xa levels within the appropriate prophylactic range. This regimen reduced the rate of VTE below expected levels and no additional adverse effects were reported.
