The coroner's concerns
1. inadequate post-operative anticoagulation management
“The guidance nationally is to prescribe clexane for 28 days after an operation. However, the guidance does not suggest that some cases may require longer where a patients mobility remains reduced. There does not appear to be an emphasis on the need to review the situation throughout the post-operative period after a discharge home.”
