Covid-19 complicated by high Venous Thromboembolism (VTE) and bleed risk in critically ill patients.

  • Study reports abnormally high VTE and high bleed risk in critically ill Covid-19 patients and calls for more effective prevention strategies.
  • Clinicians at NHS hospitals are supporting the care of Covid-19 patients with the use of geko™ devices to reduce the risk of blood clots in the most at risk patients.
