Venous stasis during surgery

Venous Stasis and Deep Vein Thrombosis Prevention in Laparoscopic Surgery

Laparoscopic surgery – is one of the most progressive minimal invasive surgery branches. About 25–40% of all abdominal operations are performed laparoscopicaly in our days and this rating is going in ascending order. Laparoscopic operations (cholecystectomy, fundoplication, appendectomy, bypass due to morbid obesity et at.) have rapidly become the operations of choice in abdominal surgery. Seve...

Counteracting venous stasis during acute lower leg immobilization.

AIM During lower limb immobilization, patients are at risk to develop deep venous thrombosis. Recently, a water-pad was developed that should counteract venous stasis. The water-pad, located under the plaster, mobilizes water from the foot to the calf during weight bearing and, thereby, imitates muscle pump function. The purpose of this study was to assess the effect of the water-pad on venous ...

Hemorheological changes during venous stasis as result of tourniquet application.

We read with interest the paper of Rosenson and Tangney [1] on the effect of tourniquet application on plasma viscosity measurements. Hemorheological changes have been detected in various conditions in which there are variations in blood velocity and pressure. They have been demonstrated, for instance, in vascular diseases with the reduction of the blood supply to the tissue due to an obstructi...

P-Selectin-dependent inhibition of thrombosis during venous stasis.

Leukocyte adhesion, transendothelial migration, and stasis are important components in the pathogenesis of deep vein thrombosis. Anesthetized cats were treated with saline, a recombinant soluble form of P-selectin glycoprotein ligand-1 (rPSGL-Ig), or an E- and L-selectin antibody (EL-246) before exposure and occlusion of a jugular vein. After 2 or 6 hours of occlusion, jugular veins were perfus...
