D
eep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a venous reflux
disorder disease caused by abnormal blood
coagulation in the deep veins. It frequently
occurs in the lower limbs of orthopedic
patients, pregnant women, and the elderly.
DVT can easily cause a pulmonary embolism (PE), a disease
with a high mortality rate. Therefore, the detection
and processing of DVT are crucial. Based on traditional
diagnostic management, doctors use D-dimer and ultrasound
(US) for screening and diagnosis. However, it does

not work well for early diagnosis, and the cost to the
health-care system is enormous. Early detection and continuous
monitoring are the urgent capabilities that current
diagnostic equipment needs. Point-of-care testing (POCT)
equipment is a type of detection equipment that can diagnose
independently and also has the advantages of stability,
reliability, easy care, and long-term monitoring. It has a wide
application scenario and can be used away from the service
and inspection centers, for example, in telemedicine,
outdoor first aid, and community health care. POCT equipment
also benefits new development in the early diagnosis
of DVT. This article presents the history of diagnostic
procedures and a clinical diagnostic approach to DVT.
