Venous thrombo- embolism
is the leading cause of preventable hospital death. Up to two million Americans
suffer from DVT each year and approximately 300,000 deaths annually result from
PE - more than breast cancer and AIDS combined. Over the last year significant
attention has been brought to VTE with the US Joint Commission and the National
Quality Forum (NQF) endorsed standardized prophylaxis practices. In addition the
U.S. Surgeon General issued a National Call-to-Action on the prevention of VTE.
As such, it is the goal of the conference to provide up-to-date recommendation
on the prophylaxis and treatment of VTE.
