Prophylaxis Information

Prophylaxis Information

The word "prophylaxis" is straight from the Greek and means "an advance guard". For example, dental prophylaxis consists of removing plaque and cleaning the teeth to prevent cavities and gum disease . Estimates indicate that without prophylaxis, fatal PE occurs in 0.1-0.8% of patients undergoing elective general surgery, 2-3% of those undergoing elective hip replacement, and up to 4-7% of those undergoing surgery for a fractured hip. Despite overwhelming evidence for the effectiveness of regimens for DVT prophylaxis, the concern over bleeding risks often dissuades physicians to comply with guidelines.
