Abstract
Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism are common and serious complications in hospitalized patients. DVT may be induced by factors including the vein wall injury, hypercoagulability, and slow blood flow during the pathophysiological changes and treatment process of burn patients, especially severe burn patients. It is of great significance to understand the occurrence of DVT in burn patients, identify the high risk group of DVT formation in burn patients with effective evaluation methods, and carry out safe and effective prevention and treatment. This article briefly reviews research progress on the monitoring, prevention, and treatment of DVT in burn patients.
