Circulatory Disorders. Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) Overview Deep Vein Thrombosis‚ also known as DVT is a preventable circulatory disorder which occurs when a blood clot is formed in a deep vein‚ they usually develop in the lower leg‚ thigh‚ or pelvis‚ but can also occur in the arms. DVT can cause pain and swelling and can lead to complications such as a pulmonary embolism‚ however DVT is preventable and if diagnosed early treatable. How DVT forms (leg vein) Veins pass through the deep tissues

The chosen model of care is Essentials of Care (EOC). The EOC model is a framework that focuses on the essential components of patient centred care and seeks to support the development and ongoing evaluation of nursing and midwifery practice. The main purpose of the EOC model is to improve patient safety and outcomes by enabling nurses and midwives to emphasis on developing clinical environments that enhance patient care‚ teamwork and individual work satisfaction (NSW department of health 2009).

Wai Khoon Ho Deep vein thrombosis Risks and diagnosis Venous thromboembolism (VTE)‚ comprising deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism (PE)‚ is the third commonest vascular disorder in Caucasian populations.1 In Australia‚ DVT alone (without concomitant PE) affects 52 persons per 100 000 annually.2 Timely management of DVT is important as it is a common cause of morbidity. Thromboses of the deep veins in the upper limbs and ‘unusual sites’‚ such as mesenteric veins‚ constitute less than

disease (NHS 2009). Veins in the body are thin walled vessels that return blood to the heart through the action of skeletal muscle pumps (Morison and Moffatt 1994). The venous system has valves that prevent the retrograde or backward flow of blood. The venous system in the leg has two main components‚ the superficial veins and deep venous channels‚ communicating veins connect these two (Porth 2002). Blood from the skin and the subcutaneous tissues flows from the superficial veins through the communicating

presented. Sequential Compression Devices (SCD’s) mechanically replace normal muscle motion in the leg via a cuff that inflates and deflates uniformly. This mechanical inflation and deflation keeps blood flowing in the veins and prevents the formation of clots that can result in deep vein thrombosis (DVT) or pulmonary embolism. SCD’s are used as prophylaxis in patient groups with low to moderate risk of DVT (Brady et al.‚ 2007‚ p. 256). Patient compliance plays a major role in the effective application
