Thromboprophylaxis Measures to Prevent Venous Thromboembolism in Hospitalized Patients

Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a serious complication in hospitalized patients and is the most frequent cause of preventable death in these patients, in addition to being the third cause of death of cardiovascular origin. Even though the loss of recent or continued mobility represents an important...
