Prevention of deep-vein thrombosis after total hip and knee replacement. Low-molecular-weight heparin in combination with intermittent pneumatic compression.
After total hip (THR) or knee replacement (TKR), there is still an appreciable risk of developing deep-vein thrombosis despite prophylaxis with low-molecular-weight heparin (LMWH). In a prospective, randomised study we examined the efficacy of LMWH in combination with intermittent pneumatic compression in patients undergoing primary unilateral THR or TKR. We administered 40 mg of enoxaparin dai...

Exist many studies documenting the use of intermittent pneumatic compression in lymphedema, venous ulcers, prophylaxis in deep vein thrombosis and limb ischaemia. This article discusses the basics and usefulness of this therapy based on available studies and recommendations. Because of lack serious side effects, good patient compliance and effectiveness intermittent pneumatic compression should...
متن کاملSequential gradient pneumatic compression enhances venous ulcer healing: a randomized trial.
The treatment of venous ulcers has remained largely unchanged for centuries. The application of properly applied graduated compression bandages, the use of graduated compression stockings, and surgery have been shown to achieve healing. However, some ulcers persist despite appropriate management. A randomized study was undertaken to compare two regimens of treatment for such patients. Both regi...

متن کاملHaemodynamic changes with the use of neuromuscular electrical stimulation compared to intermittent pneumatic compression.
INTRODUCTION Enhancement of peripheral circulation has been shown to be of benefit in many vascular disorders, and the clinical effectiveness of intermittent pneumatic compression is well established in peripheral vascular disease. This study compares the haemodynamic efficacy of a novel neuromuscular electrical stimulation device with intermittent pneumatic compression in healthy subjects. M...
