Also, the addition of graduated compression stockings to legs already being treated with intermittent pneumatic compression boots did not produce a further augmentation of peak venous velocity. The use of intermittent pneumatic compression boots significantly increased the peak venous velocity relative to rest, whereas the use of graduated compression stockings did not alter the peak venous velocity. Intermittent sequential pneumatic compression of the legs and thromboembolism-deterrent stockings in the prevention of postoperative deep venous thrombosis.
Normal volunteers and postoperative patients were examined. Using duplex imaging, we analyzed the effect on peak venous velocity in the superficial femoral vein produced by the individual and simultaneous use of graduated compression stockings and intermittent pneumatic compression boots. Recent studies suggest that the simultaneous use of these devices may have a synergistic prophylactic effect however, conflicting reports also exist.
