Stop VTE Prophylaxis at Discharge for Most COVID-19 Patients
New data will spark debate about the role of postdischarge venous thromboembolism (VTE) prophylaxis in COVID-19 patients.
We know that COVID-19 patients should receive VTE prophylaxis while hospitalized...which typically stops at discharge.
