This episode of CLOT Conversations features Dr Sam Schulman (Hamilton) and Dr Michelle Sholzberg (Toronto) discussing the 2023 ISTH update of the 2022 ISTH guidelines for antithrombotic treatment in COVID-19 of which they were two of the co-authors.
While COVID-19 is no longer considered a global emergency, healthcare professionals continue to see critical and non-critical cases regularly. This is particularly the case in locations where medical care is challenging.
There was a need to update the 2022 guidelines due to the large number of recently-published studies in the area that were not included in the 2022 edition.
Consideration was given to recommendations that could be implemented globally.
This is an important update to take into account when encountering patients with sever COVID illness.
