A pressure profile for elastic stockings.
Special equipment to measure the circumferential compression exerted by an elastic stocking was used to determine the "pressure-girth profiles" of several types of elastic stocking. Once the pressure-girth profile has been determined, the pressure exerted at the ankle, calf, and thigh can be predicted for any size of limb without further pressure measurements. An excellent correlation (r = 0.96...
متن کاملElastic compression stockings for prevention of deep vein thrombosis.
BACKGROUND One of the settings where deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in the lower limb and pelvic veins occurs is in hospital with prolonged immobilisation of patients for various surgical and medical illnesses. Using graduated compression stockings (GCS) in these patients has been proposed to decrease the risk of DVT. This is an update of a Cochrane review first published in 2000 and updated in 200...
متن کاملUse and application of graduated elastic compression stockings.
As part of Nursing Standards clinical skills series, this article discusses how to apply graduated elastic compression stockings, which are used as a prophylactic method to prevent deep vein thrombosis and its more serious complication, pulmonary embolism.
متن کاملTreatment of classic Kaposi's sarcoma-associated lymphedema with elastic stockings.
Lymphedema of the lower extremities is a frequent complication of Kaposi's sarcoma (KS). Compressive therapy is the basis of treatment for lymphatic disorders, but to the authors' knowledge, there are no controlled trials to evaluate its effectiveness in KS-related lymphedema. Sixty-five patients with classic KS-associated lymphedema limited to below the knee were studied. Fifty patients receiv...
متن کاملEffect of walking on pressure variations that occur at the interface between elastic stockings and the skin.
The aim of this work was to dynamically study pressure variations exerted by elastic compression stockings during walking. While study participants walked, the pressure variations at the interface between elastic stockings and the skin were measured dynamically. Three healthy individuals wearing 10/20 and 20/30 elastic compression stockings manufactured by Sigvaris((R)) (Jundiai, São Paulo-Braz...
