TO THE PROBLEM OF DEEP VEIN THROMBOSIS OF THE LOWER EXTREMITIES IN THE POSTOPERATIVE PERIOD

Abstract

A review of foreign literature sources on the problem of postoperative development of deep vein thrombosis of the lower extremities is presented. The incidence of deep vein thrombosis of the lower extremities among patients who have undergone surgery depends on the type of surgery and risk factors to which the patient is exposed. Thrombosis is most likely to develop after open operations on large vessels, orthopedic and traumatological operations on the extremities. Of no small importance are blood counts, the presence of concomitant diseases such as hypertension, hypertension of the small circulatory circle, diabetes mellitus, osteoporosis and other chronic diseases. It is important to make a competent decision on surgical intervention, taking into account all the risk factors to which the patient is exposed, choosing an individual approach in the prevention of postoperative thrombosis.
