both in patients with renal failure and in other patient subgroups such as neurocritical cases&#44; patients requiring vasopressor drugs&#44; or individuals with generalized edema or anasarca&#44; the need to measure the anti-factor Xa levels in order to assess the correct LMWH dosage remains subject to discussion&#44;

Canada&#44; New Zealand and Australia&#46; The recent publication of the results of the PROTECT multicenter trial<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0025"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">5</span></a> has not been able to clarify the situation&#44;

since to date no clinical trials have compared the efficacy of the different types of LMWH&#44; and there are no concrete recommendations in this respect&#46;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0040"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">8&#8211;11&#44;13</span></a></p><p id="par0200" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">In relation to this subject&#44; an important limitation of our study is the fact that the enoxaparin dose administered was not recorded&#44; its activity was not monitored&#44; and the type of patient receiving the drug was not documented&#8211;specifically as refers to the subgroup of patients with impaired renal function &#40;creatinine clearance<span class="elsevierStyleHsp" style=""></span>&#8804;<span class="elsevierStyleHsp" style=""></span>30<span class="elsevierStyleHsp" style=""></span>ml&#47;min&#41;&#46; The utilization of repeated enoxaparin doses for prophylaxis in this subgroup of patients &#40;which is the practice found in most of the Units in our study&#41; could lead to drug accumulation over a number of days&#44; and although this does not seem to increase the risk of bleeding episodes&#44; it would oblige us to reduce the usual dose&#46; In contrast&#44; the administration of two daily doses for anticoagulation purposes does increase bleeding risk&#46; There appears to be no such accumulation in the case of nadroparin&#44; dalteparin and tinzaparin&#44; and dose adjustment therefore would not be needed when using these agents&#46;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0095"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">19&#44;20</span></a> However&#44; both in patients with renal failure and in other patient subgroups such as neurocritical cases&#44; patients requiring vasopressor drugs&#44; or individuals with generalized edema or anasarca&#44; the need to measure the anti-factor Xa levels in order to assess the correct LMWH dosage remains subject to discussion&#44;

and more specifically DVT&#44; is often asymptomatic and silent in our patients&#44; suggests that deep venous system ultrasound using the simplified compression technique &#40;a simple and rapid procedure&#41; may be very useful in screening for VTED in the ICU&#46; In our case&#44; only four of the participating Units routinely used ultrasound screening for VTED&#46; In line with the recommendation of the current guides not to routinely screen for DVT &#40;grade 2C recommendation&#41;&#44;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0040"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">8&#44;10&#44;11</span></a> we consider that the technique should be reserved for those patients with an increased risk of suffering VTED&#44;

Despite the large number of participating Units and the acceptable number of patients recruited&#44; which could offer an impression of the routine results obtained in the ICUs of the Community of Madrid&#44;
