Deep vein thrombosis in pediatric patients


Due to advances in caring for critically ill children and those with chronic diseases, rates of deep
vein thrombosis (DVT) are increasing in children. Risk factors consist of central venous catheters,
chronic medical conditions, thrombophilia, and various medications. Compression Doppler ultrasonography
is the method most commonly used to diagnoseDVT, and patientswill usually present
with pain and swelling of the affected limb. Anticoagulation via subcutaneous injection is the most
common treatment regime for children with DVT, and the new, direct oral anticoagulants are
currently under investigation. Prevention techniques are not established, but clinical studies are
addressing this need
