Randomized Trial of Sequential Compression Versus Ankle-Calf Movement to Increase Femoral Venous Velocity
Objective In postoperative patients with a high risk of bleeding, sequential compression devices (SCD) and ambulation are effective methods to reduce venous thromboembolic (VTE) risks. High leg venous flow decreases VTE risk. We postulated that ankle flexion and extension (AFE) while in bed increase...
