Abstract
Objective: Analyzing the results of venous thromboembolism prophylaxis (VTE) in gastrointestinal surgical patients through multidisciplinary collaboration between doctors, clinical pharmacists, and nurses. Subject and method: Medical records of eligible post-operative patients at the Gastrointestinal Surgery Center, Bach Mai Hospital were collected during two phases: Pre-intervention phase (cross-sectional, non-interventional study) and intervention phase (prospective study with multidisciplinary collaboration). Patients from both phases were compared regarding baseline characteristics, VTE prophylaxis, and adverse event (VTE or bleeding). Result: A total of 165 patients in the pre-intervention phase and 262 patients in the intervention phase were enrolled. Through multidisciplinary collaboration, the VTE prophylaxis rate was increased significantly from 40.5% to 55.7% (p=0.011). In non-cancer patients, the prophylaxis rate also increased significantly in moderate-risk group (9.7% to 25.5%, p=0.010) and high-risk group (17.6% to 54.0%, p=0.009). The incidence of VTE remained low in both phases (0.6% versus 0.4%, p=0.136), meanwhile, the bleeding rate was higher in the post-intervention group. Conclusion: Multidisciplinary collaboration significantly improved VTE prophylaxis rates in gastrointestinal surgical patients. This model should be expanded in other surgical units to optimize postoperative outcomes.
