Venous thromboembolism prophylaxis practices in hematology/oncology patients admitted to neurological intensive care units
Our study highlights the complexity of managing VTE prophylaxis in neurocritically ill cancer patients, emphasizing the need for a careful risk-benefit assessment. The absence of thrombotic events suggests effectiveness; however, bleeding risks warrant caution. These findings underscore the importance of individualized care and highlight the need for further research to refine prophylaxis protocols, thereby ensuring both safety and efficacy in this high-risk group.
