Management of venous thromboembolism for older adults in long-term care facilities.
PURPOSE: To provide information on current evidence-based clinical management of venous thromboembolism (VTE) for nurse practitioners working for older adults in long-term care facilities. METHODS AND DATA RESOURCES: A systematic review and summary using current clinical guidelines and reliable clinical research studies: American Medical Directors Association, American College of Chest Physicians, Medline, PubMed, Refworks, and CINAHL.
CONCLUSIONS: The management of VTE focuses on a comprehensive approach including acute and long-term pharmacologic approach, surgical and mechanical approach, prophylaxis of recurrent VTE, maintaining INR, and monitoring lab values.
IMPLICATIONS: Recommendations based on the most current clinical research studies and guidelines will facilitate a cost-effective management of venous thromboembolism for older adults in long-term care facilities.
