Pneumatic compression for prevention of deep vein thrombosis following hip surgery
Record ID 32011001330
English
Authors' recommendations:
Pneumatic compression therapy attempts to prevent blood clots by improving blood flow from the legs to the heart by repeatedly applying waves of pressure to the feet or legs. After hip surgery, the goal of this therapy is to prevent or reduce the extent of deep vein thromboses in the legs that can cause potentially fatal pulmonary embolism.
