<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
COVID-19 infection has been associated with a high rate of thrombotic events, such as deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and acute pulmonary embolism.<\/p>\n
Several studies report a high risk of DVT in COVID-19 critically ill patients with pneumonia despite adequate thromboprophylaxis and have suggested using anticoagulant therapy in the therapeutic range.<\/p>\n
Increased incidence of thrombotic complications are seen in:<\/p>\n
– Severe COVID-19<\/p>\n
– Prolonged ICU stay<\/p>\n
– Diabetics<\/p>\n
Increased incidence of asymptomatic DVT (60.87%) has been noted, mostly in the infra-popliteal venous system, in COVID-19 patients (especially those with elevated D-Dimer and severe respiratory failure).<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n
Colour doppler ultrasound allows detection of DVT in asymptomatic patients, adding a factor that may influence the anticoagulant therapy in these patients.<\/b><\/p>\n
Colour doppler ultrasound is:<\/p>\n
– Easily available<\/p>\n
– Non-invasive<\/p>\n
– Rapid – Results are almost immediately available<\/p>\n
Venous doppler ultrasound can be a game-changer in COVID-19 patients at risk of thrombotic complications by helping physicians make appropriate anticoagulation therapy decisions.<\/b><\/p>\n
