Résumé

Trauma increases risk for venous thromboembolism (VTE) and obesity is a known independent risk factor for VTE development. Currently, no consensus on an optimal prophylactic dosing strategy for morbidly obese trauma patients exists. The objective of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of a BMI-stratified dosing strategy for VTE prophylaxis in morbidly obese trauma patients. This was a single center, retrospective cohort study of adult major trauma patients with a body mass index (BMI) of ≥40 kg/m One hundred forty-five morbidly obese major trauma patients were included, with 123 patients (84.8%) in the per-protocol group. The primary outcome of in-hospital VTE did not occur in any patients in this group. Bleeding events occurred in 3 patients (2.7%) with a BMI of 40 to 49.9 kg/m Administration of enoxaparin 40 mg SQ Q12H to morbidly obese major trauma patients with a BMI of 40 to 49.9 kg/m

BACKGROUND BACKGROUND
Trauma increases risk for venous thromboembolism (VTE) and obesity is a known independent risk factor for VTE development. Currently, no consensus on an optimal prophylactic dosing strategy for morbidly obese trauma patients exists. The objective of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of a BMI-stratified dosing strategy for VTE prophylaxis in morbidly obese trauma patients.
METHODS METHODS
This was a single center, retrospective cohort study of adult major trauma patients with a body mass index (BMI) of ≥40 kg/m
RESULTS RESULTS
One hundred forty-five morbidly obese major trauma patients were included, with 123 patients (84.8%) in the per-protocol group. The primary outcome of in-hospital VTE did not occur in any patients in this group. Bleeding events occurred in 3 patients (2.7%) with a BMI of 40 to 49.9 kg/m
CONCLUSIONS CONCLUSIONS
Administration of enoxaparin 40 mg SQ Q12H to morbidly obese major trauma patients with a BMI of 40 to 49.9 kg/m
