Thromboprophylaxis in Patients with Acute Spinal Cord Injury: A Narrative Review

Abstract: Patients with acute spinal cord injury (SCI) have the highest risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE) among hospitalized patients. The incidence of total deep vein thrombosis ranges from 50 to 100% in untreated patients and pulmonary embolism is the third most common cause of mortality in these patients. The pathophysiology of the increased risk of VTE is explained by venous stasis after injury, endothelial vessel wall injury from surgery, and a hypercoagulable state associated with trauma. The current thrombopro… Show more

“…They were divided equally into two groups of early (<48 h after surgery) versus late (≥48 h after surgery) initiation of thromboprophylaxis: DVT prevalence was significantly lower in the early group than in the late group (2.1% vs 10.8%, respectively, P < 0.01). 37,38 In our time effect study, there was an increasing trend of wet weight and dry weight of the thrombus from 2 h to 6 h after SCI, though there was no significant difference in the thrombus-inhibition effect between 1 h and 6 h. This result implied that thrombosis was closely related to the time of damage and anticoagulation therapy and that earlier treatment may help to reduce the thrombus size. Therefore, given the combined results of thromboprophylaxis and bleeding in the SC, EH could be administered <6 h in clinic after SCI to prevent thrombosis, which is earlier than LMWH.…”

“…Пострадавшие с осложненной травмой шейного отдела позвоночника зачастую подвергаются длительному нарушению кровообращения на фоне застоя крови в венах нижних конечностей, связанного как с нарушением иннервации сосудистой стенки, так и со снижением насосной функции мышц, обусловленной их параличом. Указанные факторы вместе с повреждением эндотелия и гиперкоагуляцией являются основными этиопатогенетическими составляющими, которые определяют принадлежность данной категории пациентов к группе наиболее высокого риска развития венозных тромбоэмболических осложнений [14][15][16].…”

“…The existing laboratory examinations of clotting function are neither able to reflect coagulation nor to predict haemorrhage. Some specific diseases, such as severe liver dysfunction [ 8 ], will lead to significant abnormalities in coagulation test results, different from the actual state of hyper-coagulable [ 9 11 ]. Once a bleeding event occurs in patients treated with anti-thrombotic therapy, it is usually severe [ 12 ].…”
