If so, the patch will remain in place for 3 days. • Zofran (ondansetron): Usually given during surgery and as needed after surgery. Side effects are limited but may include headache. Blood Clots Prevention Having a total joint replacement puts you at risk for blood clots. Things will be done during your hospital stay and at home to prevent blood clots. DEEP VEIN THROMBOSIS (DVT) This condition is a blood clot that forms in a vein deep inside the body. This type of clot most commonly develops in the legs. This condition is dangerous, because the clot can break free and travel through the bloodstream to the lungs, called a pulmonary embolism. PULMONARY EMBOLISM (PE) A serious complication of deep vein thrombosis is called pulmonary embolism. This occurs when the clot breaks free, travels through the bloodstream and lodges within one of the pulmonary vessels. These are the arteries that supply blood to the lungs. Prevention includes: • Move, move, move—as soon as possible! • When lying in bed, pump your feet up and down to get blood that is pooling in your legs back to your heart. • Get out of bed and start walking as soon as possible. Challenge yourself to get out of bed for all meals and to walk at least 3 times a day. Patient Guide for Total Hip and Total Knee Replacement Surgery 13 SEQUENTIAL COMPRESSION DEVICE (SCDS) These devices wrap around the calf of your legs and fill with air. They will be applied during your surgery to prevent blood from pooling in your legs. This will decrease your risk of blood clots. These are to be on whenever you are in bed or in a chair. For best results we encourage you to keep them on for at least 18 hours per day. BLOOD THINNING MEDICATIONS Starting after surgery you will take a blood thinner to help prevent blood clots. Your doctor will decide which blood thinner you will be on. You can expect to be on a blood thinner for up to one month following your surgery.
