Abstract
Background: To assess the effect of low-molecular-weight heparin (LMWH) combined with evoked potentials somatosensory evoked potential (SEP) on the prevention of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in patients undergoing spinal surgery.
Methods: One hundred twenty-eight patients who underwent spinal surgery from August 2022 to August 2023 were chosen, and the patients were randomly classified into the control group and the observation group, with 64 cases in each group. The control group received LMWH injections.The observation group received SEP monitoring on the basis of the control group. The blood flow velocity of popliteal veins of both lower limbs was measured by Color Doppler ultrasonography. The D-dimer concentration was measured using intravenous blood samples taken 1 day before surgery, after surgery, and 24 hours after surgery. The incidence of lower extremity DVT was diagnosed by ultrasonography during surgery and 24 hours after surgery.
Results: Compared with the control group, the blood flow velocity of the popliteal veins in both lower limbs in the observation group increased at T2-4 (P < 0.001), and the D-dimer and FIB concentrations in the observation group were decreased (P < 0.001); the occurrence of DVT in the observation group was lower than that in the control group (P < 0.05).
Conclusion: LMWH combined with SEP monitoring can effectively prevent the occurrence of lower limb DVT in patients with spinal surgery.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons was established in the fall of 1993 by the Academy in response to its membership’s demand for a clinical review journal. Two issues were published the first year, followed by six issues yearly from 1994 through 2004. In September 2005, JAAOS began publishing monthly issues.
Each issue includes richly illustrated peer-reviewed articles focused on clinical diagnosis and management. Special features in each issue provide commentary on developments in pharmacotherapeutics, materials and techniques, and computer applications.
