What Does TED Stand For?
TED stands for Thrombo Embolism Deterrent
TED, or Thrombo Embolism Deterrent, refers to strategies, devices, or treatments designed to prevent the formation of blood clots that can lead to thromboembolism. This includes the use of compression stockings or devices that promote blood circulation, particularly in patients at risk due to immobility, surgery, or certain medical conditions. TED plays a crucial role in enhancing patient safety and improving overall outcomes in clinical settings.
