Conditions

Thromboembolism, Trauma Injury, Venous Thromboembolism

Brief summary

The purpose of this study is to determine if additional interventions will assist with decreasing the risk and/or severity of thromboembolism (clotting complications) in patients who have experienced a major traumatic event.

Interventions

DRUGThrombate infusion

Bolus intravenous infusion of Thrombate will be given to achieve antithrombin (AT) activity levels at 150% before the 3rd dose of Enoxaparin. The dose will be based on patient weight.

DRUGPlacebo

Normal Saline will be given as one time IV before the 3rd dose of Enoxaparin. The dose will be based on patient weight.
