[Prevention of venous thromboembolism in surgery and obstetrics].
The French Society of anaesthesiology and intensive care has chosen a high level methodology to issue professional Recommendations on perioperative and obstetrical venous thromboembolism prophylaxis. In addition with a short review on mechanical and pharmacological prophylaxis, all surgical and obstetrical settings have been studied. The initiation and duration of prophylaxis have been particularly debated in close relation with the level of surgical risk. A large group of experts has been involved in this process. More than 150 other experts have participated in the reading process. Didactic tables have been added to help the prescription.
