*Addendum from Dr. Crandall:

“The timing of VTE prophylaxis after neurosurgical intervention for TBI can be challenging.  However, this JAMA Surg retrospective cohort study demonstrated that prophylaxis before 72hrs was associated with greater risk of reintervention and mortality and after 72 hours was associated with greater risk of VTE but not mortality.  This suggests that perhaps 3 days would be safest balance for most patients after neurosurgical intervention for TBI.”
