Children and adolescents hospitalized with active inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) are at increased risk for venous thromboembolism (VTE), which can have significant impacts on patient outcomes. This evidence-based course was created to educate healthcare providers about this risk and serve as a toolkit to guide development and implementation of standardized procedures for VTE risk screening and prophylaxis at their centers.
Upon completion of the modules, users will be able to:
- Describe the pathophysiology of VTE in IBD
- Prevent VTE through screening for VTE risk, administer VTE prophylaxis, and monitor to ensure safety
- Develop a standardized VTE risk screening and prevention protocol
- Educate patients and families about VTE risk and prophylaxis
CME and MOC Part II credit are available!
These modules are funded by the NASPGHAN Foundation Innovations in Clinical Care Grant.
