LITERATURE REVIEW 2

Literature Review

Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) describes a situation where blood clots form within the

deep veins of a patient, usually in lower limbs. DVT is dangerous as the blood clots could be

transported and lodged in the major organs, restricting optimal blood flow and may even lead to

death as a result of pulmonary embolism. It develops under certain medical conditions but also

manifests itself after lengthy spans of immobility. It means bed-ridden persons have heightened

risks of DVT in the clinical environment. Pharmacological treatments of DVT vary with

Coumadin (warfarin) and heparin being highly prevalent anticoagulants for thinning the blood. It

is important to examine which intervention is more potent in eradicating DVT symptoms to

maximize the patient’s best outcomes, particularly in the short-term. The literature review will

compare scientific evidence to uncover the more effective option to minimize healthcare costs

while guaranteeing swift recovery.

Researchers have consistently used research questions in uncovering the efficacy of the

two pharmacological interventions. It is important to note how Wilbur and Shian’s research

questions are analogous to Taylor Steuber’s article that looks to uncover the roles of direct oral

anticoagulants in managing venous thromboembolism (Wilbur & Shian, 2017; Steuber, 2017).

This is comparable to Thaler, Pabinger, and Ay’s article together with Massimo, Giancarlo,

Liumbruno, and Lippi’s question touching on the evolution of anticoagulant therapy (Franchini,

Liumbruno, Bonfanti, & Lippi, 2016). These questions point towards the growing variety and

sophistication of available DVT treatments over time. Also, Harter, Levine, and Anderson’s

article questions the adverse impacts of anticoagulant therapies, which rhymes with Insam et

al.’s article examining the consequences of utilizing recommended best practices in tackling
