Interface pressures derived from oversize compression stockings.
OBJECTIVES To clarify interface pressures (IP) derived from class II and III oversize stockings. METHODS Healthy volunteers with legs fitting size S (n = 10), M (n = 6), or L (n = 6) stockings wore class II and III stockings of various sizes up to 5L. IPs were measured in the supine and the standing position with each stocking on. RESULTS In the subjects with size S legs, the IPs in the sta...
متن کاملCompression stockings and venous function.
HYPOTHESIS Surgical compression stockings measurably improve venous physiologic mechanisms, and stocking brands do not differ from one another. METHODS Eleven patients, (8 men and 3 women [mean age, 53 years]), were included. Six patients had primary venous insufficiency and 5 patients had secondary venous insufficiency; 5 patients were in CEAP class 4 and 6 were in CEAP class 5. Patients wer...
متن کاملA comparison of interface pressures of three compression bandage systems
Objective: To measure and compare the interface pressures achieved with two compression bandage systems – a four-layer system (4LB) and a two-layer short-stretch system (SSB) – with a new two-layer system (2LB), which uses an etalonnage (performance indicator) to help achieve the correct therapeutic pressure for healing venous leg ulcers – recommended as 40 mmHg. Method: 32 nurses with experien...
متن کاملGraduated compression stockings in hip fractures
INTRODUCTION Hip fractures are the most common cause of acute admissions to orthopaedics units and in the UK approximately 70,000-75,000 hip fractures occur annually. Hip fractures carry a significant risk of developing a venous thromboembolism. The National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) estimated that the risk of developing a venous thromboembolism in patients with hip f...
متن کاملCompression stockings reduce occupational leg swelling.
BACKGROUND Evening edema of the legs is a physiologic phenomenon occurring after sitting and standing. OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to investigate which compression pressure is necessary to prevent leg swelling. METHODS In 12 volunteers, the volume of both lower legs was measured in the morning and 7 h later, the difference being defined as evening edema (mL). The procedure was...
