2022 Consensus Conference to Implement Optimal
VTE Prophylaxis in Trauma
Attendees of the 2022 VTE Consensus Conference, held at the American College of Surgeons in May 2022.
The 2022 Consensus Conference to Implement Optimal VTE Prophylaxis in Trauma was held May 4-5, 2022 and convened a multi-disciplinary group of stakeholders with wide ranging areas of expertise and focus in injury care and venous thromboembolism (VTE) in trauma. It was presented by CNTR, hosted by the American College of Surgeons, and co-led by VTE investigators Todd Costantini, MD, and Elliott R. Haut, MD, PhD.
With 40 in-person attendees and more than 80 surgeons, pharmacists, trauma program leaders, nurses and others registered to attend virtually, the conference’s primary objectives were realized: to promote research related to the perceived barriers to delivering timely pharmacologic VTE prophylaxis, support the development of education platforms and clinical care pathways to improve implementation of current guidelines, and develop research objectives for VTE prophylaxis in trauma. As an outcome of the conference, work has already begun to develop the next generation of VTE research studies.
