SCIP-INF-6: Surgery patients with appropriate hair removal (added in 2008, retired in 2011) SCIP-INF-7 : Colorectal surgery patients with immediate postoperative normothermia ( added 2009 ) SCIP-INF-8 : Short half-life prophylactic administered preoperatively re-dosed within 4 h after preoperative dose ( proposed 2010 )
The type of surgery performed prior to the formation of blood clots influences the risk. Without prophylactic interventions, the calculated incidence of clot formation in the lower leg veins after surgery is: 22% for neurosurgery; 26% for abdominal surgery; 45% for 60% in orthopedic surgery; 14% for gynecologic surgery [13]

Phlegmasia cerulea dolens (PCD) (literally: 'painful blue inflammation'), not to be confused with preceding phlegmasia alba dolens, is an uncommon severe form of lower extremity deep venous thrombosis (DVT) that obstructs blood outflow from a vein.
The annual health care cost of PTS in the United States has been estimated at $200 million, with costs over $3800 per patient in the first year alone, and increasing with disease severity. [ 24 ] [ 25 ] PTS also causes lost work productivity: people with severe PTS and venous ulcers lose up to 2 work days per year.
Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is the formation of a blood clot within a deep vein. It most commonly affects leg veins, such as the femoral vein. Three factors are important in the formation of a blood clot within a deep vein—these are: the rate of blood flow, the thickness of the blood and; qualities of the vessel wall.
The Pratt Test is a simple test to check for deep vein thrombosis in the leg. [1] [2] It involves having the patient lie supine with the leg bent at the knee, grasping the calf with both hands and pressing on the popliteal vein in the proximal calf. If the patient feels pain, it is a sign that a deep vein thrombosis exists. [citation needed]
A fibrinogen uptake test is a test that was formerly used to detect deep vein thrombosis. Radioactive labeled fibrinogen is given which is incorporated in the thrombus. The thrombus can then be detected by scintigraphy. [1] [2] Iodine 125-labeled fibrinogen scanning is a very sensitive method for detecting subclinical leg vein thrombi.
