Summary

Intermittent sequential pneumatic compression (ISPC) of the legs effectively prevents postoperative deep venous thrombosis (DVT). ISPC reduces DVT incidence by preventing venous stasis and enhancing fibrinolytic activity without complications.

Area of Science:

  • Vascular Surgery
  • Thrombosis Prevention
  • Medical Device Technology

Context:

  • Postoperative deep venous thrombosis (DVT) is a significant complication in surgical patients.
  • Current preventive measures have limitations or associated risks.
  • Understanding the mechanisms of DVT prevention is crucial for improving patient outcomes.

Purpose:

  • To evaluate the efficacy of intermittent sequential pneumatic compression of the legs (ISPC) in preventing postoperative deep venous thrombosis (DVT).
  • To investigate the underlying mechanisms of ISPC's preventive effect on DVT, focusing on coagulation and fibrinolytic activity.

Summary:

  • A study involving 64 surgical patients demonstrated that ISPC significantly reduced DVT incidence from 18.0% in the control group to 6.3% in the ISPC group (p < 0.01).

  • Analysis of coagulation and fibrinolytic activity in 78 patients revealed that ISPC significantly shortened euglobulin lysis time postoperatively (p < 0.01), indicating enhanced fibrinolysis.
  • No significant changes in plasminogen or B beta 15-42 peptide were observed, and ISPC use was associated with no complications.

    • Impact:

    • ISPC offers a safe and effective dual-action approach for preventing postoperative DVT through mechanical compression and fibrinolytic acceleration.
    • This finding supports the routine use of ISPC in surgical settings to mitigate the risk of DVT.
    • The study provides evidence for optimizing DVT prophylaxis strategies in at-risk patient populations.
