Brief Summary

Venous thromboembolism (VTE), which includes deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism, is a common cardiovascular disease associated with significant morbidity ranging from painful leg swelling, chest pain, shortness of breath, and even death. About 50% of all VTE events occur as a result of a current or recent hospital admission for surgery or acute medical illness. Hospital-acquired VTE is preventable, with interventions including anticoagulants and mechanical measures, including compression stockings and intermittent pneumatic compression. Prevented hospital acquired VTE is the focus of health services and the strongest hospital strategy to improve patient health in the world.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • number of VTE

    VTE include symptomatic VTE or asymptomatic VTE at day 14

    14 days after randomization

Secondary Outcomes (3)

  • number of targets reached of peak value or trough value of anti Xa for the first time

    14 days after randomization

  • number of hemorrhage

    14 days after randomization

  • number of all cause in-hospital death

    14 days and in hospital

Study Arms (3)

Peak value anti-Xa group (Group A)

EXPERIMENTAL

The peak value of anti-Xa level of this group should be remain 0.3~0.5IU/mL. This group will receive low molecular weight heparins (LMWH) 40mg, once a day for the first 3 days. And detect the peak level of anti-Xa after 4 to 6 hours after injection of the third dose of LMWH. Adjust the dose of LMWH according to the peak value of anti Xa.

Diagnostic Test: Peak value anti-Xa

Trough value anti-Xa group (Group B)

EXPERIMENTAL

The trough value of anti-Xa level of this group should be remain 0.1~0.2IU/mL. This group will receive low molecular weight heparins (LMWH) 40mg, once a day for the first 3 days. And detect the trough level of anti-Xa after 12 hours after injection of the third dose of LMWH. Adjust the dose of LMWH according to the trough value of anti Xa.

Diagnostic Test: Trough value anti-Xa

Control group (Group C)

PLACEBO COMPARATOR

The control group will not detect the value of anti Xa and not adjust the dose of LMWH. This group will receive fixed dose of low molecular weight heparins (LMWH) 40mg, once a day.

Diagnostic Test: Control Group
