Brief summary

Australian data on the management of chemical thromboprophylaxis (CTP) and mobilization in splenic trauma patients is limited. The authors review the outcomes of early CTP and mobilization practices in splenic trauma from a single institution. Retrospective review on the outcomes of splenic trauma patients based on timing of CTP and mobilization was conducted from April 2013 to April 2018. Data was collected on demographics, AAST injury grade, ISS, co-existing injuries precluding early CTP or mobilization, blood product requirement, bleeding events, and thromboembolic events.

Interventions

Retrospective observational study for splenic trauma patients and timing of chemical thrombopropylaxis and mobilsation. Follow-up spans from time of injury until discharge and outpatient follow-up. Data source: Gold Coast University Hospital electronic medical record. No participant input, data collection only.
