Clinical Focus, Venous Thromboembolism
September 4-5, 2008
Seaport Hotel
Boston, Massachusetts, USA

The prevention of venous thromboembolism is one of the largest patient safety initiatives in the United States. A common and potentially lethal process in hospitalized and critically ill patients, venous thromboembolism is attributed to tens of thousands of deaths per year despite therapeutic efforts.

Join the initiative to prevent this often fatal condition in critically ill patients by increasing your knowledge base. Attend the Society of Critical Care Medicine’s (SCCM) latest event in the Clinical Focus series, Venous Thromboembolism, to be held September 4 to 5, 2008, in Boston, Massachusetts, USA.

During this conference, experts from multiple specialties will:

• present an overview of the physiology of venous thromboembolism
• define an evidence-based approach to prophylaxis
• examine evolving approaches to therapeutic modalities and complications
