Thrombotic risk is a constant threat in perioperative patients, but it has decreased with the evolution of surgical technology.  Do you know how to minimise the risk of thrombosis in your surgical patients?  Learn from expert colleagues from the University of Basel, Switzerland: Prof. Dimitrios Tsakiris (hematologist) and Prof. Daniel Bolliger (anesthesiologist).

 In this podcast episode the two experts discuss the pathophysiology of perioperative thrombosis, how to apply perioperative thromboprophylaxis and consider special considerations such as the use of aspirin following orthopedic surgery, when to monitor anticoagulants and the use of inferior vena cava (IVC) filters as thromboprophylaxis.

 This is the final episode podcast in a four-part series on thrombosis in various clinical conditions.
