Intermittent Pneumatic Compression Devices

Instruments that generate intermittent forces, uniformed or graduated, to facilitate the emptying of VEINS. These devices are used to reduce limb EDEMA and prevent venous THROMBOEMBOLISM, such as deep vein thrombosis in the legs.

Pulmonary Embolism 01/01/1996 - "The efficacy of pneumatic compression stockings in the prevention of pulmonary embolism after cardiac surgery." 02/01/2006 - "Efficacy of pneumatic compression stocking prophylaxis in the prevention of deep venous thrombosis and pulmonary embolism following 139 lumbar laminectomies with instrumented fusions." 11/15/2005 - "Intermittent pneumatic compression stockings (IPC) alone were prospectively used to avoid deep venous thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE) in 100 consecutive patients undergoing single-level anterior corpectomy/fusion (ACF) and in 100 patients having multilevel ACF/posterior fusion. " 02/01/2007 - "For VTE, there is moderate evidence, defined as at least one positive RCT, indicating that low-molecular-weight heparin is more effective than low-dose unfractionated heparin in preventing VTE, low-molecular-weight heparin is as effective and safe as unfractionated heparin for the prevention of pulmonary thromboembolism, low-molecular-weight heparin combined with compression stockings is more effective than compression stockings alone for the prevention of VTE and intermittent pneumatic compression devices are as effective as low-molecular-weight heparin for the prevention of VTE. " 10/01/2005 - "Prophylaxis against DVT/pulmonary embolism (PE) is a critical issue, and options include elastic stockings, intermittent pneumatic compression stockings, low-dose unfractionated heparin (5000 U every 8-12 hours), and low molecular-weight heparin (ie, enoxaparin and dalteparin).

" 06/15/2018 - "To investigate the effect of additional semiautomatic intermittent pneumatic compression device (IPCD) in the prevention of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) of lower extremity in these patients undergoing major orthopedic surgery, when compared with the conventional graduated compression stockings alone. " 06/15/2018 - "Semiautomatic intermittent pneumatic compression device applied to deep vein thrombosis in major orthopedic surgery." 08/01/2011 - "For 240 spinal surgery patients, postoperative prophylaxis against deep venous thrombosis consisted of alternating pneumatic compression stockings alone. "
3.	Venous Thromboembolism 04/01/2018 - "The objective of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of respiratory synchronized compression devices (RSCDs) versus nonsynchronized intermittent pneumatic compression devices (NSIPCDs) in preventing venous thromboembolism (VTE) after total joint arthroplasty. " 10/04/2016 - "To determine the likely enrolment rate of eligible participants into a randomised controlled trial (RCT) in which a within-cast intermittent pneumatic compression device using Jet Impulse Technology (IPC/JIT) is 1 of 3 possible interventions in a RCT for the prevention of venous thromboembolism (VTE) in the clinical setting of isolated lower limb cast immobilisation. " 05/01/2003 - "The results suggest that, given the small sample size of this trial, both drugs appear to be safe and the incidence of venous thromboembolism by postoperative screening duplex ultrasound appears to be low when these agents are used in combination with intermittent pneumatic compression devices." 01/01/2023 - "When applying evidence, it is necessary to combine clinical practice and patient wishes and select evidence pertinent to improving the effectiveness of intermittent pneumatic compression devices in preventing venous thromboembolism.

4.	Thromboembolism 01/01/2023 - "This study summarized the evidence of using an intermittent pneumatic compression device to prevent venous thromboembolism in trauma patients and provided the basis for scientific and effective standardized management of mechanical thromboembolism prevention. " 04/01/2019 - "Intermittent pneumatic compression devices and low molecular weight heparin are effective in preventing postoperative thromboembolism. "
5.	Hemorrhage 02/01/2017 - "Intermittent pneumatic compression device (IPC) is recommended in patients with bleeding risk but we do not recommend using graduated compressive stockings. " 01/01/2016 - "The ActiveCare+SFT is a portable, intermittent pneumatic compression device (IPCD), providing equivalent VTED prophylaxis to pharmacologic agents without associated bleeding. " 12/01/2001 - "The use of intermittent pneumatic compression devices was significantly associated with current hemorrhage (OR 13.5, P =.02), and risk for future hemorrhage (OR 19.3, P =.001). " 01/01/2020 - "Portable intermittent pneumatic compression device (IPCD) has proven to be effective and safe in patients with a high risk of venous thrombosis and low bleeding risk. " 01/01/2011 - "Graduated compression stockings and intermittent pneumatic compression devices are also used to prevent VTE and do not increase bleeding, which makes their use appealing in patients who cannot tolerate bleeding, such as patients with acute stroke.
