Abstract: Venous thromboembolism (VTE) has become a serious medical problem faced by medical personnel all over the world, due to its high incidence, high fatality, and easily missed and misdiagnosed. Patients with severe burns are at high risk for VTE due to the presence of blood hypercoagulability, central venous catheterization, repeatedly received surgical procedures, and prolonged bed rest. Identifying the risk factors of VTE in burn patients and taking targeted preventive measures are the key to reduce the incidence of VTE. However, there are no risk assessment tools or prevention guidelines for VTE in burn patients at home and abroad, and scholars from various countries are actively exploring the occurrence, influencing factors, and prevention of VTE in burn patients. This paper reviews the research progress of the occurrence situation, related risk factors, risk assessment, and prevention of VTE in burn patients in recent years, and discusses the existing problems and future research directions in this field.
