Abstract
BACKGROUND: In the authors' department, a newly implemented clinical algorithm for application of perioperative thrombosis prophylaxis in head and neck surgery recommends restrictive handling of anticoagulants. This retrospective study aims to evaluate the algorithm by comparing incidences of venous thromboembolic events (VTE) and surgical revisions due to postoperative hemorrhage.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: Perioperative incidences of deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism as well as surgical revisions due to postoperative hemorrhage after head and neck surgery were determined based on all patients operated in the department over a period of 36 months. The incidences before (group I) and after (group II) implementation of the restrictive algorithm were compared.
RESULTS: A total of 9276 patients were included. The incidences of VTE (0.12%) and surgical revisions due to postoperative hemorrhage (1.4%) were low. Incidences of VTE were non-significantly higher in group II (0.16%) than in group I (0.08%; p > 0.45, chi-square-test). Case analysis revealed that this difference was not due to implementation of the restrictive algorithm. The incidence of surgical revision due to postoperative hemorrhage was identical in the two groups (1.4%).
CONCLUSION: After restricting the indication for thrombosis prophylaxis, the incidence of VTE or surgical revision due to postoperative hemorrhage did not change significantly. The provided clinical algorithm represents a low-risk and low-cost strategy of perioperative risk stratification.
