Abstract:
This study compares levels of compression achieved in the application of both multilayer compression bandage systems and single-layer bandages by practitioners who are experienced with levels achieved by those who are inexperienced. Nineteen practitioners experienced in compression bandaging (13 nurses, six doctors) and 18 inexperienced (12 nurses, six doctors) participated in the study. Both experienced and inexperienced practitioners achieved a pressure of 40 mmHg more consistently when applying multilayer compression bandage systems than in the application of single-layer bandages. Compression bandaging experience does not result in significantly better sub-bandage pressure when using a multilayer system. Inexperienced practitioners are more likely to apply dangerously high levels of pressure with single-layer bandages than with a multilayer system. Single-layer compression bandages should be applied only by those health-care professionals with extensive experience of applying compression bandages.
