In brief
This retrospective study examines anticoagulation management strategies for traumatic vascular injuries in pediatric patients, a rare clinical scenario with limited evidence-based guidance. The research addresses the unique challenge of balancing thrombosis risk in children, who have inherently lower clotting risk than adults, against bleeding complications in the trauma setting.
Written by the GCMD Library team from the article.
Background
Pediatric traumatic vascular injuries are rare. Given the paucity of data to guide anti-coagulation (AC) management of these injuries in children, who have a lower overall risk for thrombosis compared to their adult counterparts, we sought to examine and summarize our recent experience.
Method
We conducted a retrospective review of all patients (
