Effects of Intermittent Pneumatic Compression on Reduction of Postoperative Lower Extremity Edema and Normalization of Foot Microcirculation Flow in Patients Undergoing Arterial Revascularization

BACKGROUND: In patients with chronic leg ischemia, the beneficial effect of arterial revascularization can be significantly decreased due to postoperative leg swelling. The aim of this study was to assess the effects of intermittent pneumatic compression (IPC) on skin flow normalization in patients...

description BACKGROUND: In patients with chronic leg ischemia, the beneficial effect of arterial revascularization can be significantly decreased due to postoperative leg swelling. The aim of this study was to assess the effects of intermittent pneumatic compression (IPC) on skin flow normalization in patients undergoing revascularization procedures due to chronic leg ischemia. MATERIAL/METHODS: We evaluated 116 patients with chronic leg ischemia. The patients were divided into groups according to the performed treatment (endovascular or surgical) and implementation of IPC postoperatively. The leg edema assessment and microcirculation flow assessment were performed pre- and postoperatively, using percutaneous O(2) pressure (TcpO(2)), cutaneous blood perfusion (CBP) measurements, and skin flow motion assessment. RESULTS: In patients who did not receive IPC, a decrease in CBP value was observed in the 1(st) postoperative assessment. Among patients receiving IPC, the CBD value increased at the 1(st) and 2(nd) postoperative measurements, especially in the surgical group. The lowest TcpO(2) values were observed in by-pass surgery group without IPC postoperatively. CONCLUSIONS: The benefits of the by-pass procedure in patients with leg ischemia can be significantly reduced by postoperative edema. Among patients with postoperative leg edema, local tissue blood perfusion can be improved by the use of IPC, which can result in decreased local leg swelling, as well as improved skin blood perfusion and TcpO(2).
