THE IMPORTANCE OF EARLY EVALUATION OF VENOUS THROMBOEMBOLISM: PREVENTING COMPLICATIONS AND ENHANCING QUALITY OF HEALTHCARE
Abstract
This paper examines the critical role of early evaluation of venous thromboembolism (VTE), which includes conditions like deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE), in preventing severe health complications and enhancing overall healthcare quality. With VTE being a major cause of morbidity and mortality, early identification and management are essential for improving patient outcomes. The study analyzes diagnostic methods, risk factors, and preventive strategies through a review of recent literature. Findings emphasize that timely VTE evaluation can significantly reduce hospitalization time, healthcare costs, and mortality rates. The paper concludes by advocating for the integration of comprehensive VTE assessment protocols in healthcare settings to ensure effective preventive measures and optimized patient care.
