All,

?I know we have discussed this in the past but I am trying to get a general consensus about DVT prophylaxis?in head injured patients.? Meeting with our neurosurgeons later in the week and would like some input as the literature is pretty sparse.? When is it ok to start LMWH in patients with SAH?? SDH? stable exam and CT's?? thoughts?? What are you folks doing out there?
