Conclusion


The major findings of this CPG are the following:

  • Physical therapists should play a large role in identifying patients who are high risk of a VTE. Once these individuals are identified, preventive measures such as referral for medication, initiation of activity/mobilization, mechanical compression, and education should be implemented to decrease the risk of a first or reoccurring VTE.

  • Physical therapist should be aware of the signs and symptoms of a LE DVT. When signs and symptoms are present, the likelihood of LE DVT should be determined through the Wells’ Criteria for LE DVT and results shared with the inter-professional team to consider treatment options.

  • In patients with a diagnosed LE DVT, once a medication’s therapeutic levels or an acceptable time period has been reached post administration, mobilization should begin. While there are risks associated with mobilization, the risk of inactivity is greater.

  • Complications following LE DVT can continue for years or even a lifetime. Physical therapists can help decrease these complications through education, mechanical compression, and exercise.
