Abstract
INTRODUCTION: Effective strategies for prevention of venous thromboembolism (VTE) are widely available, but still remain underused, mainly in our country. OBJECTIVE: Our aim was to verify whether the implementation of a guideline for VTE prophylaxis for surgical patients influenced the prescription of prophylaxis by the medical staff. METHODS: This was a retrospective preintervention-postintervention study. Charts of 150 patients before guideline implementation (BGI) and 150 after (AGI) were randomized among all patients admitted during one year in each period. Inclusion criteria: >40 years-old, major abdominal or orthopedic surgeries. Exclusion criteria: Incomplete files and use of anticoagulants for any reason at admission. Data registered: demographic data, reference to VTE risk factors, VTE prophylaxis prescription, diagnosis of deep venous thrombosis or pulmonary embolism during hospitalization. Results. The two groups, BGI and AGI were similar for demographic data and duration of prophylaxis (5.6 x 6.6 days). Frequency of prophylaxis in percentages was BGI x AGI respectively, before surgery: pharmacologic prophylaxis (PP), 6 x 9; graduated compression stockings (GCS), 4 x 3; intermittent pneumatic compression (IPC), 2 x 3. After surgery: PP, 53 x 53; GCS, 23 x 40 (P<0.05); IPC, 26 x 32. Including all patients, prophylaxis was prescribed for 60.5% BGI and 66.5% AGI, but was considered adequate only in 34% BGI and 32% AGI. CONCLUSION: Adoption of a guideline, although increasing concern about prophylaxis, expressed by greater use of GCS, only minimally improved quality of prophylaxis , indicating that other active and continuous interventions are necessary to enforce compliance.
