Comcare OHS Fact Sheet No. 39 - March 2001 Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) and Long Distance Air Travel
Advice to Employers Comcare has had a number of enquiries from Commonwealth Agencies on the subject of DVT . Where employees regularly undertake long distance air travel, Agencies may need to undertake a risk analysis to determine the risk of exposure to employees having regard to the best medical data available. Further assessments may be required as medical knowledge develops and becomes clearer. Current medical information on DVT should be made available to all employees planning to travel by air. This will enable employees to be better informed and able to recognise potential problems or know to consult their doctor before travelling by air. What is DVT DVT is a blood clot, which develops in the veins of the leg. The clot may break off and travel through the blood stream and lodge in the brain, lungs, heart or other area causing severe damage to the organ concerned. DVT and Long Distance Air Travel Current medical evidence suggests long distance air travel may contribute to the development of DVT . This is not a new problem but recent publicity about the "Economy Class Syndrome" and the death of a number of long distance travellers from DVT

Phlebitis And Thrombosis
Phlebitis is an inflammation of a vein. Thrombosis is the formation of a blood clot that may partially or completely block a blood vessel. A clot located in an inflamed, blood vessel is called thrombophlebitis. A clot formation in a deeper vein is called a deep vein thrombosis. Blood clots may follow injury, surgery, childbirth, or prolonged bed rest. They may also be associated with infection. Symptoms of phlebitis may include:
  • a hard and cord-like vein that is very sensitive to pressure or touch a surrounding area that is red and warm to the touch a slight fever or swelling of the extremity
The primary danger in thrombophlebitis is that the clot may move and travel to a vital organ, such as the lung, causing serious damage. If you have symptoms of thrombophlebitis or deep vein thrombosis your healthcare provider may order a doppler ultrasound examination (a test that uses sound waves to locate clots); a venogram in which dye is injected into a vein, usually in the foot. (X-rays are then taken to visualize the circulation and any blockages that may be present.) Lung scans may be ordered if there is concern that blood clots have traveled to the lungs. Thrombosis is treated with anticoagulant drugs, such as heparin or coumadin. These drugs inhibit the formation of blood clots.

Deep vein thrombosis explained
By Andrew Demaria CNN.com writer A thrombosis is the formation of a blood clot in a blood vessel. Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a form of thrombosis that develops in one of the deep veins of the body. DVT often begins in the calf or thigh because blood moves relatively slowly in these areas, particularly if exercise is limited. As the blood begins to pool in an area, a clot develops and can attach itself to the wall of a vessel or in more severe cases become wedged within a vessel, blocking blood flow. Blood clots are common. And while a blood clot itself is not life threatening it can cause serious complications. Professor Reginald Lord, head of the vascular group of St. Vincent's hospital in Sydney, says only one percent of venous thromboses cause complications.

What are the efficacy and safety of LMWH compared with UFH for treatment of pulmonary embolism (PE)? What are the efficacy and safety of outpatient versus inpatient treatment of DVT with LMWH or UFH? What is the cost-effectiveness of outpatient versus inpatient treatment of DVT with LMWH or UFH? What is the optimal duration of treatment for DVT and PE in patients without known thrombophilic disorders and in patients with thrombophilic disorders? The main outcomes of interest again were death, recurrent venous thromboembolism (VTE), and bleeding complications.
Diagnosis
  • How accurate are clinical prediction rules used for the diagnosis of DVT or PE? What are the test characteristics of ultrasonography for diagnosis of DVT? Are calf vein thromboses adequately identified with ultrasound? What are the test characteristics of helical computed tomography (CT) for diagnosis of PE relative to ventilation/perfusion (V/Q) scanning or standard angiography?

    • Deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism Venous thrombosis and pulmonary embolism pose a serious health problem. In this country half a million people are hospitalized each year and 50,000-100,000 deaths occur due to venous thrombosis which is also a leading cause of maternal death. The incidence of symptomatic venous thrombosis cases is approximately 1 in 1000 people per year. Venous thrombosis is a multifactorial condition caused by a combination of genetic, aquired or environmental influences. Natural anticoagulant systems (the protein C system and antithrombin III) are in place to keep coagulation in check. Excess clotting occurs when there is a disturbance in one of the coagulation inhibitor mechanisms or in natural lysis of clots.

Stents and thrombosis
Study Results Comment

Bandolier 92 reported a meta-analysis of trials looking at a comparison of stents versus balloon angioplasty indicating stents to be better. With stents the death rate was 3.8% and reinfarction rate 2.1% over six months in randomised trials up to 1999. The interesting question is whether this retrospective analysis represents what is happening in today's clinical practice, with technical advances and improved anticoagulation. An analysis of ongoing studies suggests that death and reinfarction rates are lower now than they were [1].
Study
Six major clinical trials of coronary stenting were coordinated from Boston, all using similar inclusion criteria and protocols, but with different stents. Protocols used routine high-pressure postdilation, and with aspirin 325 mg daily and ticlopidine 250 mg twice daily for four weeks, but with glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitors discouraged.
All used stent thrombosis as a clinical endpoint, and with the same definition of clinical and angiographic stent thrombosis and myocardial infarction. From the paper it appears that some, but not all, of the trials were randomised.

Controversies in Pulmonary Embolism and Deep Venous Thrombosis
BRUCE L DAVIDSON, M.D., M.P.H.,
Virginia Mason Medical Center, Seattle, Washington
F ew common medical conditions are as difficult to diagnose as pulmonary embolism. Treatment is usually satisfactory, but optimal treatment is controversial. An estimated 300,000 Americans suffer pulmonary embolism each year. Among those in whom the condition is diagnosed, 2 percent die within the first day and 10 percent have recurrent pulmonary embolism; the death rate among the latter group is 45 percent. Thus, suspicion of pulmonary embolism and its prevention are critically important, even while consensus on diagnosis and optimal treatment is not at hand. TABLE 1

Factor V Leiden and Venous Thrombosis All case studies Summaries Bibliography Reader's Forum
Educational Objectives After reading this case study you should be able to:
  • identify key characteristics of the study population (cases and controls) that should be described when reporting results of gene-disease association studies. summarize gene-disease associations in terms of absolute, relative and attributable risks. discuss possible implications of the findings for researchers, people with Venous Thrombosis, and people with one or more of the newly described Factor V Leiden variants.
Venous thrombosis is an important cause of morbidity; incidence is low in young people but increases with age to 1% per year in the elderly. In a small proportion of cases, venous thrombosis leads to pulmonary embolism, which can be fatal. Persons with an initial venous thrombosis are at increased risk for recurrence; however, long-term use of anticoagulant prophylaxis can result in major hemorrhagic complications. This challenging clinical problem has received new attention since the discovery of certain genetic variants that increase susceptibility to venous thrombosis. Under normal conditions, procoagulant and anticoagulant factors in the blood are in balance. However, persons with inherited alterations in proteins that promote or prevent coagulation may be predisposed to excessive bleeding (as in hemophilia) or clotting (thrombophilia). Persons with thrombophilia are at increased risk of developing clots that obstruct blood flow locally or that detach and embolize. Environmental factors that cause vascular injury (e.g., surgery), stasis (e.g., prolonged immobility), or increased coagulability (e.g., hormone use) interact with genetic susceptibility to increase the risk for thrombosis.
