Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to investigate the occurrence of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in critically ill patients in ICUs and compare those with and without DVT.
- Critically ill patients are at a higher risk for DVT due to factors like immobility and age, and the research involved 90 patients over a five-month period.
- The results showed that 11.1% of patients developed DVT, with certain factors like age and body mass index being significant, indicating a need for increased monitoring and prevention strategies for high-risk patients in clinical settings.
