VTE Guideline Update

Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a serious complication for many surgical patients. AORN's Guideline for Prevention of Venous Thromboembolism emphasizes a proactive approach focused on preventing VTE before it occurs. This episode explores key updates for perioperative nurses, including the use of standardized VTE risk assessments, the potential for nurse-driven protocols for mechanical prophylaxis, and the importance of tailoring VTE prevention strategies to individual patient needs. By staying up-to-date on best practices and working collaboratively within the surgical team, perioperative nurses can significantly reduce VTE risk and promote optimal patient outcomes.
