At critical points during the case, the participant is asked to choose the best management strategy for this patient and is provided with evidence-based rationales for clinical decision-making. |
VTE in the Medically Ill (Cancer) Patient
Dr Franklin Michota
In this interactive program, Dr Franklin Michota discusses the case of a 71-year-old man with non–small-cell lung cancer who presents with acute onset of shortness of breath and pleuritic chest pain.

Heparin Dosing Challenges
Sarah A. Spinler, PharmD, FCCP, BCPS
In this case study, Dr Sarah Spinler reviews the case of a 68-year-old female patient who underwent total hip replacement 3 weeks prior. Dr Spinler addresses risk factors for venous thromboembolism (VTE), appropriate VTE prophylaxis, options for thromboprophylaxis, and heparin dosing challenges for this patient. This case will examine the guidelines-based course of therapy that was implemented in this patient and will illustrate common dosing issues in VTE prophylaxis. |
Anticoagulation in Orthopedic Surgery Patients
Richard J. Friedman, MD
Dr Friedman discusses the case of a 71-year-old man who presents with a limp and pain in his right hip requiring total hip arthroplasty. Dr Friedman then reviews the risk factors for venous thromboembolism and the thromboprophylaxis to be used while the patient is in the hospital and after discharge. |
