Prevention 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 کاملFailure of low-dose heparin to improve efficacy of peroperative intermittent calf compression in preventing postoperative deep vein thrombosis.
The possible benefits of adding a low-dose heparin regimen to the technique of peroperative intermittent calf compression for preventing deep vein thrombosis (D.V.T.) were assessed in a randomized trial in 84 surgical patients. The efficacy of peroperative intermittent calf compression was not enhanced by a low-dose heparin regimen, but neither was it worsened. Age, weight, duration, operation,...
متن کاملPrevention of postoperative deep vein thrombosis in patients with malignant disease.
We have used the (125)I-fibrinogen test to asses the value of an improved method of peroperative intermittent calf compression as a prophylactic measure against postoperative thrombosis. In a group of 99 patients over the age of 40 undergoing operations lasting more than 30 minutes the technique reduced the incidence of postoperative thrombosis by over 75%. In patients suffering from malignant ...
متن کاملPrevention of venous thromboembolism after total hip and knee arthroplasty.
Venous Thromboembolism (VTE) remains a clinical threat to orthopaedic surgeons, despite of a large number of clinical trials and research performed on this subject. Various guidelines and recommendations are available in clinical practice but the search continues for an ideal agent or combination of agents for VTE prophylaxis. Rudolf Virchow first described Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) and the su...
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...
