Quantifying the Degree Graduated Elastic Compression Stockings Enhance Venous Emptying [PDF]

European Journal of Vascular and Endovascular Surgery, 2014
Graduated elastic compression (GEC) stockings reduce reflux and venous volume but their performance on augmenting venous return is unproven. The aim of this study was to quantify the ability of stockings to increase venous outflow from the leg.A prospective study comparing venous emptying without compression, versus class 1 (18-21 mmHg) and class 2 (23-

Venous impulse foot pumps: Should graduated compression stockings be used?

Journal of Arthroplasty, 2002
It is not known whether the effect of Foot Pumps (Novamedix, Andover, UK) is enhanced by simultaneous use of graduated compression stockings (by controlling calf compliance) or hindered (by restricting preload). To address this question, we studied 20 healthy volunteers with duplex ultrasound.

GRACE: protocol for a UK, secondary care, multicentre, assessor-blinded randomised controlled trial with a non-inferiority comparison to evaluate graduated compression stockings as an adjunct to extended duration pharmacological thromboprophylaxis for venous thromboembolism prevention [PDF]

BMJ Open
Introduction Venous thromboembolism (VTE) occurs when a blood clot forms in a vein. It is comprised of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism and can be potentially life-threatening.

Compression stockings in addition to low-molecular-weight heparin to prevent venous thromboembolism in surgical inpatients requiring pharmacoprophylaxis: the GAPS non-inferiority RCT

Health Technology Assessment, 2020
Background: Patients admitted to hospital for surgery are at an increased risk of venous thromboembolism. Pharmaco-thromboprophylaxis and mechanical prophylaxis (usually graduated compression stockings or intermittent pneumatic compression) have been ...

Case report: morbid obesity and lithotomy positioning: a high-risk triad with GCS leading to severe rhabdomyolysis with impending acute compartment syndrome following ovarian cancer cytoreduction [PDF]

BMC Surgery
Background Venous thromboembolism (VTE) prophylaxis with graduated compression stockings (GCS) is a standard of care in gynecologic oncology surgery; however, the mechanical risks in specific patient populations require critical attention.

Compression Hosiery to Avoid the Post-Thrombotic Syndrome: a synopsis of the CHAPS RCT

Health Technology Assessment
Background Approximately half of adults diagnosed with deep vein thrombosis will develop the post-thrombotic syndrome leading to chronic symptoms – including leg pain, oedema, venous ectasia and, in 5% of cases, venous ulceration.

Graduated compression stockings for the prevention of deep-vein thrombosis in postoperative surgical patients: a systematic review and economic model with a value of information analysis

Health Technology Assessment, 2015
Background: Deep-vein thrombosis (DVT) can occur in surgical patients. Routine prophylaxis can be pharmacological and/or mechanical [e.g. graduated compression stockings (GCSs)]. GCSs are available in knee length or thigh length.
