title: [STROKE: INCIDENCE AND RISK FACTORS FOR VENOUS THROMBOEMBOLIC COMPLICATIONS IN INTENSIVE CARE UNIT].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To study the evidence of venous thromboembolic complications (VTE (acute venous thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE)) at the background of modern prevention for different characteristics and localization of stroke, as well as defining the role of the main clinical risk factors in the pathogenesis for ITE in stroke patients in intensive care unit.
  
  
  METHODS
  The study included 123 patients with different types, localization and severity of stroke. All patients received standard prophylaxis VTE with low molecular weight heparin (LMWH). Neurological status, the severity of the general condition, the main clinical risk factors of stroke were assessed when income and in dynamics. There was planned duplex scanning of the veins of the inferior vena cava performed.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  In spite of the application of modern preventive measures VTE, their frequency remains high accounting for 56%. All patients have a place DVT, in 26% of pulmonary embolism occurs. Groups at highest risk of VTE are patients with stroke more than 8 points of NIHSS, who are ventilated and assessed infection-inflammatory disorders, especially pulmonary. This group is considered to be at the highest risk of VTE. Modern preventive strategy for them is not sufficient and needs for the search of other preventive approaches.
