Trial to Assess the Effectiveness of Intermittent Pneumatic Compression in the Prevention of Postoperative Venous Thromboembolism in Surgical Patients at Extremely High Risk
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating SCD, GCS, and 1 other intervention for Venous Thromboembolism and Venous Thrombosis. Completed, enrolled 407 participants across 2 sites.
Detailed Summary
The aim of the study is to evaluate efficacy and safety of venous thromboembolism prophylaxis by the combination of graduated compression stockings (GCS), standard doses of low-molecular-weight heparins (LMWH) and sequential compression device (SCD) in the mixed group of surgical patients at high and extremely high risk for venous thromboembolism.
Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
Intermittent pneumatic compression (IPC) with Kendall SCD™ Sequential Compression System 700 used continuously when the patient is in bed with 6-hours night interval free of compression: from 0 a.m. to 6 a.m. In the ICU SCD used continuously all day, and in surgery department - all time of bed resting. SCD used until discharge.
Thigh-length graduated compression stockings with pressure of 18-21 mm. Hg at the ankle used all the time until discharge plus one month after discharge
LMWH enoxaparin (Clexane) 40 mg once a day subcutaneously started on 1st or 2-5th postoperative day according to the bleeding risk and used until discharge.
