Hospital-Acquired Venous Thromboembolism and Invasive Ventilation: A Report From the CHAT Consortium

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The speaker discusses the importance of venous thromboembolism (VTE) in critically ill patients, both in adults and pediatrics. They explain that while certain risk factors for developing VTE are known, there is still a lack of prospectively validated risk scores to guide treatment and prevention in pediatric patients. The speaker highlights the role of mechanical ventilation in increasing the risk of VTE and presents preliminary data from a single-center study and a multicenter case-control study to support this claim. They conclude that patients who undergo prolonged mechanical ventilation may be at higher risk for VTE and suggest the need for further research and clinical trials in this area.
