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 کاملThigh-length compression stockings and DVT after stroke
Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE) are key complications after stroke that can lead to substantial morbidity and mortality. Rates of venous thromboembolism (VTE) were high in the past but have fallen, refl ecting increased use of early rehydration, mobilisation, and aspirin. An additional intervention is the use of graduated compression stockings (GCS), the effi cacy of whic...
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 کاملThigh-length versus below-knee stockings for deep venous thrombosis prophylaxis after stroke: a randomized trial.
BACKGROUND Graduated compression stockings are widely used for deep venous thrombosis (DVT) prophylaxis. Although below-knee stockings are used more often than thigh-length stockings, no reliable evidence indicates that they are as effective as thigh-length stockings. OBJECTIVE To compare the effectiveness of thigh-length stockings with that of below-knee stockings for preventing proximal DVT...
