Total Risk Factor Score	Risk Level	Incidence of DVT	Prophylaxis Regimen
0-1	Low Risk	2%	Early ambulation
2	Moderate Risk	10-20%	Sequential Compression Device (SCD) Heparin 5000 units SQ BID
3-4	Higher Risk	20-40%	Sequential Compression Device (SCD) Heparin 5000 units SQ TID Enoxaparin/Lovenox: 40mg SQ daily(WT<150kg, CrCL>30mL/min) 30mg SQ daily (WT<150kg, CrCl=10-29mL/min) 30mg SQ BID (WT>150kg, CrCl>30mL/min)
5 or more	Highest Risk	40-80%	Sequential Compression Device (SCD) Heparin 5000 units SQ TID (Preferred with Epidurals) Enoxaparin/Lovenox (Preferred): 40mg SQ daily (WT<150kg, CrCl>30mL/min) 30mg SQ daily (WT<150kg, CrCl=10-29mL/min) 30mg SQ BID (WT>150kg, CrCl>30mL/min)

If the Total Risk Factor Score is 0 or 1, in this case patient is in low risk to develop DVT.	If Total Risk Factor Score is 2, in this case patient is in Moderate risk to develop DVT.	If the Total Risk Factor Score is 4, in this case patient is in Higher risk to develop DVT.	If the Total Risk Factor Score is 5 or more, in this case patient has the highest risk to develop DVT.
The Prophylaxis Regimen is the Early ambulation.	The Prophylaxis Regimen is to choose (SCD) OR Heparin 5000 units SQ BID.	The Prophylaxis Regimen to choose one medication with or without (SCD).	The Prophylaxis Regimen to choose medication PLUS (SCD).
