Venous thromboembolism (VTE), including deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism, is the world's third largest cardiovascular disease after ischemic heart disease and stroke in the clinic, because of its high incidence and strong occult type, known as the "silent killer".
The occurrence of venous thrombosis during the patient's hospitalization involves almost all clinical departments, and runs through all the diagnosis and treatment activities of the patient from admission to discharge, especially the occurrence of fatal pulmonary embolism in the hospital, which has posed a major hidden danger to the patient's recovery.
Venous thrombosis is a preventable and treatable disease, active and effective prevention can significantly reduce its incidence, and standardized diagnosis and treatment can significantly reduce its case fatality rate.
October 13 is the eighth "World Thrombosis Day", in order to further improve the public's awareness of venous thrombosis, reduce the occurrence and harm of venous thrombosis, promote the smooth rehabilitation of hospitalized patients, implement the relevant requirements of the "Healthy China Action (2019-2030)", as one of the large-scale national free clinic activities of "Serving the Health action of the people in 2021", the VTE Prevention and Management Office of the Medical Department of the First People's Hospital of Guangzhou, the Imaging Party Branch, the Preventive Health Department joint interventional radiology department, On the afternoon of October 12, the Department of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine launched the "2021 World Thrombosis Day Science Popularization and Expert Free Consultation of Guangzhou First People's Hospital".
