New ASAPS Campaign for Patient Safety Coincides with DVT Awareness Month

NEW YORK, Surgeons who do not use prophylaxis
(preventive measures) or do not properly implement prophylaxis often may be
risking their patients' safety, according to a new article on prevention of
venous thromboembolic (VTE) events in cosmetic surgery patients appearing in
the March/April issue of Aesthetic Surgery Journal.
To learn more from the Aesthetic Society about the risks of DVT and
plastic surgery, log onto

Around 400 references with abstracts from recent global literature
accompany this review.

VTE is a disease process
that includes both deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE) and
may have fatal or debilitating consequences.
"This article, commissioned by the ASAPS Patient Safety Steering Committee, is
the most comprehensive review, to date, of all the factors that should be
considered when determining the need for measures to help prevent VTE in
plastic surgery patients," adds Dr .
"The incidence of deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism is difficult
to pin down. Part of the problem is
that much of the literature focuses on the incidence of confirmed VTE where
patients have been diagnosed through imaging studies or autopsy.surgery.

Prophylaxis in Plastic Surgery Reduces Risk of Blood Clots

"Although the incidence of VTE
appears to be relatively low in patients undergoing cosmetic surgery, plastic
surgeons are always striving to further optimize patient safety," says

Research and Markets: Use of Supercritical Fluids 'SCFs' in Polymer Industry Presents Opportunity to Create Unique Products Both Now and in the Future.

walter authors

However
because many patients with a DVT or PE have no symptoms, the exact number of
cases that occur is hard to define.
The publication of this important article coincides with the kickoff of
the ASAPS "Campaign for Patient Safety," which will focus initially on VTE, as
well as a new partnership with the Coalition to Prevent Deep Vein Thrombosis . In view of their ever-growing importance in the polymer
industry there is a need to fully comprehend how supercritical fluids
interrelate with polymeric materials to realise the potential that can
be gained from their use.
