The New Ropanasuri Journal of Surgery
Introduction. The mortality of venous thromboembolism increased among trauma patients. Both the D-dimer test and ultrasonography are selected to diagnose venous thromboembolism due to non-traumatic causes but are rarely utilized in emergency trauma settings.
Objectives. This literature review comprehensively explains the accuracy of the D-dimer test and ultrasonography for deep vein thrombosis (DVT) diagnosis. This study finding might broaden the diagnostic recommendation for traumatic patients with deep vein thrombosis.
Method. This study used articles from four distinct journal databases. Only eight of the 480 articles found during searching proceeded with the screening process. Thus, five articles were included …

Introduction. Oral anticoagulant therapy is commonly used to prevent deep vein thrombosis (DVT). However, it might increase the risk of intraoperative and postoperative bleeding. Graduated compression stockings (GCS) reduced DVT risk, but there is a lack of supporting evidence. Thus, the study aimed to find the efficacy of GCS compared to the pharmacological method in high-risk surgical patients.
Method. Literature search proceeded in Cochrane, ClinicalKey, and PubMed. Using keywords graduated compression stockings" or "mechanic" or mechanical") and ("pharmacologic" or "oral anticoagulants" or "NOAC") and "comparison" and "prophylaxis" and ("DVT" or "deep vein thrombosis) and ("surgery" or "surgical").
