Abstract:Objective To explore the risk factors of thrombosis in burn patients. Methods The clinical data of 97 burn patients in our hospital between June 2014 and June 2016 were retrospectively analyzed. Color Doppler ultrasounography was used to examine the occurrence of venous thrombi. Among the patients 16 patients with venous thrombi were assigned into vein thrombus group, and the remaining 81 cases into non-venous thrombus group. The risk factors for thrombosis in the patients with burn were analyzed. Results All the patients in the vein thrombus group had deep vein thrombi of the lower limbs, the incidences of popliteal vein thrombosis and posterior tibial venous thrombosis were the highest (both were 25.00%). Old age, large total burn area, the site of injury to the lower extremities, the occurrence of wound infection, high D-dimer level, and staying in bed for a long time were the risk factors for venous thrombosis in the burn patients (P < 0.05). Conclusions The thrombosis of burn patients is mainly deep venous thrombosis of the lower extremities. Burn patients should be closely monitored for early detection and early treatment of deep vein thrombi, especially those with old age, large total burn area, the site of injury to the lower extremities, the occurrence of wound infection, high D-dimer level, and long time in bed.
