24-hour interval compression: a plan to balance effectiveness and tolerability for chronic oedema
1Registered Nurse and Independent Clinical Researcher, Maidenhead, UK.
Abstract:
As one of the mainstays for the management of chronic oedema, compression is unquestionably an efficacious and important element in treatment pathways during the intensive acute, transition and maintenance phases. Despite the variety of compression technologies on the market, devices to aid application and innovative methods employed by caregivers to encourage adherence to treatment, concordance remain a challenge. Balancing clinical effectiveness and patient comfort, the 24-hour interval plan considers wearer lifestyle and treatment options to tailor types of compression and times during the day and night when compression is worn. This article reviews previously published theories and evidence on which the 24-hour compression plan has been based (Bock et al, 2022).
