How is deep vein thrombosis (DVT) managed post-operatively?
DVT can be managed and prevented by encouraging early ambulation, using compression stockings, and administering anticoagulant medications as needed. Patients should be informed about symptoms such as leg pain, swelling, and redness, and advised to seek immediate medical attention if these occur. Regular follow-up and monitoring are essential to prevent complications like pulmonary embolism.
