    Abstract:
    Risk factors of the development of phlebothrombosis and thromboembolism of the pulmonary artery (TEPA) were estimated in 257 patients as associated both with the patient and the trauma. The factors influencing the development of risk factors were: bed immobilization, age older than 40, heart failure and respiratory insufficiency, fractures of the lower extremities, skeleton traction, obesity, thrombosis of lower extremities, previous thrombosis or pulmonary embolism, floating clot. Risk factors of the development of vein thrombosis associated with trauma included the presence of lower extremity fractures, skeletal traction or immobilization in bandage, mechanism of injury and type of trauma.
