In a Cochrane review, data from two trials involving 331 major trauma
patients demonstrated that LMWH (enoxaparin 30 mg q12h) appeared to reduce the risk of DVT compared to low-dose UFH (5000 units bid) (RR
0.68; 95%CI 0.50–0.94). Routine DVT screening was performed on all stud­ied patients. There was no statistically significant difference in risk of incidence of PE, bleeding complications, and in mortality when comparing LMWH vs. UFH. People who received both mechanical and pharmacological prophylaxis had the lowest risk of DVT (RR 0.34; 95% CI 0.19 to 0.60). Cochrane Database Syst Rev. 2013; 28:CD008303.
A multicenter, randomized, blinded, placebo-controlled trial compared an
additional three weeks of pharmacologic VTE with a LMWH (bemiparin) to

no additional prophylaxis in 626 patients who underwent abdominal or pelvic surgery for cancer, all of whom initially received 1 week of prophylaxis with once-daily LMWH. Surveillance venography was performed after three weeks, and patients were followed clinically for three months. The primary outcome was a composite of any DVT (including asymptomatic and distal DVT), PE, and death from any cause. Although the risk of the composite outcome was 24% lower and the risk of proximal DVT was 88% lower in the extended prophylaxis group, there were no differences in symptomatic or fatal VTE events. J Thromb Hemostasis. 2010;1223–1229.
Jamjoon et al. performed a systematic review of the literature reporting on the
timing of pharmacologic prophylaxis in TBI patients. The authors dichoto­mized the timing of prophylaxis to early and late at 72 h post-injury. A total of five retrospective cohort studies were included in the review with a total of 1,624 patients, of which 713 received early prophylaxis and 911 received late prophylaxis. There was a VTE risk reduction of 0.52 (95%CI 0.37–0.73) for those receiving early prophylaxis. Assessing safety, the relative risk of ICH progression in the early vs. the late group was 0.64 (95%CI 0.35–1.14). Based on the available literature, the authors conclude that prophylaxis by 72 hours reduces the risk of VTE without affecting progression of ICH. The retrospec­tive nature of the studies included in this review and the variability in the measurement of ICH progression (some studies described it as progression on head CT obtained for clinical suspicion or need for craniotomy, another study described it as progression on head CT routinely obtained after prophylaxis initiation) limit the interpretation of the data. Other studies have reported progression of ICH when prophylaxis is started before 48 hours. No rand­omized controlled studies on timing of prophylaxis exist to date. J Neurotrauma. 2013; 30: 503–511.
Consensus guidelines for VTE prophylaxis in pediatric trauma patients are
lacking. Overall, the incidence of post-injury VTE in pediatric patients is lower than that of adults. However, the age cut-off at which this difference is no longer significant has not been studied. In an evidence-based review of the literature Streck et al. identified that the mean age of patients with a VTE was
16.6 years vs. 12.1 years (p < 0.01) in those who did not develop VTE, inde- pendent of other risk factors. By multivariate logistic regression those <14 years of age had a decreased risk of VTE (OR 0.2, 95%CI 0.1–0.9). With the limitations of the data available, this is the first study that identifies an age cut-off (14 y.o.) at which VTE prophylaxis in pediatric trauma patients could be beneficial.

Evaluation of Fever

Take Home Points
Fever is a sign of inflammation, not necessarily infection.
A thorough history and physical exam will usually identify the likely source
of infection.
Routine “knee jerk” batteries of tests to workup a fever are often not warranted.
Imaging, labs or cultures should be obtained based on risk factors identified
in the history and physical exam.
Background
Fever is common after a surgical procedure, occurring in 50% of patients.
Up to 90% of critically ill patients with severe sepsis will experience fever
during their stay in the intensive care unit.
Significant cost can be accrued in the workup of the febrile ICU patient.
Fever is a natural response to inflammation and may not itself be pathological
depending on the setting.

Main Body
Source of fever
{ Inflammation (both infectious and non-infectious). { Medications (common culprits).
Definition of a fever
{ Normal temperature varies based on age, time of day, and method of
measurement.
{ Temperature can be affected by various environmental factors and drugs
in the ICU.
{ Fever is defined differently by different groups and is somewhat arbitrary
and depends on patient characteristics and setting (e.g. immunosuppressed, post operatively).
{ A broadly defined generalization by the ACCM and IDSA suggests >38.3
deserves attention in an ICU setting.
{ If you want a more sensitive screen, use a lower workup threshold. { Our Surgical ICU uses 38.5 but this can vary based on clinical suspicion.
Many post trauma/surgery patients have a large inflammatory burden
which may cause fever of non-infectious origin.
Non-infectious sources of fever
{ Up to 50% of fevers in the ICU are not related to infection. { Potential non-infectious fevers (any cause of inflammation)
Pancreatitis, thromboembolism, drugs, alcohol withdrawal myocar-
dial infarction, pneumonitis, pericarditis, cancer, surgery, autoimmune disease, adrenal insufficiency, ischemia, blood product transfusions, iatrogenic, transfusions, many others.
Common ICU sources of infectious fever
{ All usual infections are present while the incidence of each type may vary
based on ICU.
{ It is commonly reported that surgical site, respiratory, bloodstream, and
urinary tract make up the vast majority of infectious sources of fever in the SICU.
Surgical sites of any kind both superficial and deep.Respiratory — Pneumonia (ventilator associated and otherwise),
empyema.
Urinary tract infection (upper and lower), especially if instrumented.Bloodstream infections, especially with indwelling devices.
Evaluation of Fever 447
Abdominal infections – abscesses, perforations, colitis, toxic mega-
colon, C. diff, cholangitis, cholecysitis (calculus and acalculus), spontaneous bacterial peritonitis.
Central nervous system (risk is higher with instrumentation or
trauma).
Sinusitis.
Workup of the febrile ICU patient
{ Start with thorough history and physical examination.
Key points are past history as well as recent history/events.Recent procedures/surgeries/trauma.Any indwelling hardware or foreign bodies.Recent infections.Search for reasons for potential immunosuppression.Physical examination emphasis on surgical sites and foreign bodies.Evaluated front and back.
{ Use adjunctive studies (imaging, labs, and cultures) to help confirm or
refute suspicious sources found on history and physical exam. Routine sets of labs, culture or imaging are less likely to be cost-effective in find­ing an infectious source of fever.
{ Cultures:
Respiratory cultures
Ö Multiple methods of obtaining cultures are debated. Ö Broncho-alveolar lavage (BAL) or mini BAL felt to be appropriate. Ö Clinical scores exist to help stratify the risk/benefit of obtaining
respiratory cultures in ventilated febrile ICU patients, but no clear consensus exists as to optimal method.
Ö Clinic suspicion is increased for respiratory source of infection
when there has been worsening of respiratory parameters [e.g. hypoxia (decreased p/f ratio), increasing vent settings, new find­ings on CXR, long duration of intubation, etc.].
Urinary Tract Cultures
Ö Instrumentation of the urinary tract is believed to increase the risk
of infection similar to other body systems.
Ö Urinalysis (UA) has been proposed as a rapid screen of infection;
however the utility of this test as a screen for infection is patient and setting dependent. Conflicting literature exists as to its use in the ICU.
