Efficacy and safety of sonographer discretion to terminate a venous duplex ultrasound for diagnosis of deep vein thrombosis in coronavirus disease 2019 patients

Resumo Com o avanço do conhecimento, a covid-19 passou a ser considerada uma doença do sistema respiratório, podendo ter comprometimento multissistêmico. Analisou-se a prevalência de trombose venosa profunda (TVP) em membros inferiores em pacientes acometidos pela covid-19 através de uma pesquisa de revisão integrativa, considerando o período de 2019 a 2022. Os procedimentos utilizados para a seleção dos artigos foram identificação das palavras-chave, elaboração da estratégia de busca, consulta em bases de dados e exclusão dos artigos em duplicata e outros. A exclusão foi feita com base nos seguintes critérios: artigos sobre complicações vasculares arteriais em membros inferiores, pesquisas laboratoriais, relatos de casos referentes a complicações venosas e arteriais em outros sítios e artigos não relacionados ao desfecho de TVP. Do total de 284 artigos, foram incluídos 42. Observou-se grande variabilidade na prevalência de TVP em pacientes com covid-19 (0,43 a 60,87%). Sugere-se que a ocorrência de TVP em pacientes com covid-19 está associada à gravidade desta doença.

As knowledge has accumulated, COVID-19 has come to be considered a disease of the respiratory system that can also cause multisystemic involvement. This study analyzed the prevalence of deep venous thrombosis (DVT) in the lower limbs of patients with COVID-19 by conducting an integrative review of the literature published from 2019 to 2022. The procedures involved in article selection were identification of keywords, definition of the search strategy, consultation of databases, and exclusion of duplicate articles and others that did not meet the review objectives. Exclusion of articles was based on the following exclusion criteria: articles on arterial vascular complications involving the lower limbs, laboratory experiments, cases reports describing venous and arterial complications involving other sites, and articles unrelated to the outcome of interest: DVT. A total of 284 articles were identified, 42 of which were included. There was considerable variability in the prevalence of DVT among patients with COVID-19 (range: 0.43 to 60.87%). The findings suggest that occurrence of DVT in patients with COVID-19 is associated with disease severity.
