Very short case:
Okay, you have a patient, in the ICU, will be immobile for days, one signficant thing in PMH is ESLD. Baseline INR is 2.3.
Does this patient "need" VTE prophylaxis?
You have basically 3 general choices when asked what to do.
One has risks if you choose it , One would be generally considered safe, one is debatable on the risk/benefit ratio.
Which do you choose?
