متن کاملRapid-inflation intermittent pneumatic compression for prevention of deep venous thrombosis.
BACKGROUND Current treatment regimens that are designed to prevent deep venous thrombosis in patients undergoing orthopaedic procedures rely predominantly on drug prophylaxis alone. The purpose of this randomized clinical study was to evaluate the effectiveness of a mechanical adjunct to chemoprophylaxis that involves intermittent compression of the legs. METHODS During a twenty-two month per...
متن کاملPrevention of early postoperative deep vein thrombosis by intermittent compression of the leg during surgery.
A clinical trial is described in which the effect of intermittent compression of the lower limb during surgery on the incidence of early postoperative deep vein thrombosis was assessed. Deep vein thromboses were diagnosed by the (125)I-fibrinogen uptake test. Peroperative intermittent compression was achieved by means of an inflatable plastic splint coupled to a pneumatic controller. By compres...
متن کاملPrevention of deep vein thrombosis by intermittent pneumatic compression of calf.
A consecutive, randomly allocated, controlled clinical trial of the prophylactic effect of intermittent pneumatic compression of the calf on the incidence of postoperative deep vein thrombosis showed that in patients without malignant disease there was a highly significant reduction in the incidence of thrombosis. In patients with malignant disease the incidence of thrombosis was higher than in...
متن کاملIntermittent pneumatic compression and deep vein thrombosis prevention. A meta-analysis in postoperative patients.
Our objective was to overview the effectiveness of intermittent pneumatic compression (IPC) devices to prevent deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in postoperative patients, using meta-analysis methodology. We searched the Medline, metaRegister of Controlled Trials, and Cochrane database for studies published between 1970 and October 2004. Our inclusion criteria were: 1) randomized controlled trial of I...
