Travel-related venous thromboembolism (VTE) is probably less frequent than previously suspected and becomes relevant when a flight lasts eight hours or more. Usually, general measures such as avoiding constrictive clothing or dehydration and doing gymnastics and walking around in the cabin are sufficient for preventing VTE. Compression stockings can be recommended when risk factors for VTE are present. Low molecular weight heparins in prophylactic dosage should be considered after previous VTE.

D006495 Heparin, Low-Molecular-Weight Heparin fractions with a molecular weight usually between 4000 and 6000 kD. These low-molecular-weight fractions are effective antithrombotic agents. Their administration reduces the risk of hemorrhage, they have a longer half-life, and their platelet interactions are reduced in comparison to unfractionated heparin. They also provide an effective prophylaxis against postoperative major pulmonary embolism. LMWH,Low-Molecular-Weight Heparin,Low Molecular Weight Heparin,Heparin, Low Molecular Weight
