Improvement of Venous Pumping Function by Double Progressive Compression Stockings: Higher Pressure Over the Calf is More Important Than a Graduated Pressure Profile

European Journal of Vascular and Endovascular Surgery, 2014
BackgroundPrevious studies have shown that so-called progressive elastic compression stockings (PECS) with a negative pressure gradient have a more pronounced effect on venous pump function than conventional, graduated stockings.

Measuring patient compliance with wearing graduated compression stockings

Journal of Vascular Surgery: Venous and Lymphatic Disorders, 2023
Patient compliance is an essential precondition for assessing the effectiveness of graduated compression stockings (GCS). However, patient compliance with use of GCS has not received sufficient attention. Only a few clinical studies have explicitly evaluated patients' adherence to GCS therapy, and the instruments used to measure patient compliance have

Development and validation of a graduated compression stockings adherence scale

Phlebology: The Journal of Venous Disease, 2023
Objective Compression therapy with the use of graduated compression stockings (GCSs) is a common treatment strategy for chronic venous disease (CVD). However, there is no uniform and objective standard to assess adherence to the use of GCSs. The aim of this study is to develop and validate a GCS Compliance Scale

Challenging the evidence for graduated compression stockings

BMJ, 2013
Welfare highlights important points surrounding the recommended use of anticoagulants to prevent venous thromboembolism (VTE).1 We highlight problems surrounding National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) recommendations that all hospital inpatients, excluding those with stroke, are considered for mechanical prophylaxis.

Graduated Compression Stockings

Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research, 2001
The mechanisms by which graduated compression stockings prevent deep venous thrombosis are not completely understood. In the current study the physiologic effect of low-pressure graduated compression stockings on the venous blood flow in the lower limb and the practical aspects of their use were assessed. Patients having elective orthopaedic surgery at

The Effect of Graduated Compression Stockings on Running Performance

Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research, 2011
The aim of this study was to examine the effects of wearing different grades of graduated compression stockings (GCS) on 10-km running performance. After an initial familiarization run, 9 male and 3 female competitive runners (VO₂max 68.7 ± 5.8 ml·kg⁻¹·min⁻¹) completed 4 10-km time trials on an outdoor 400-m track wearing either control (0 mm Hg; Con),

Graduated Compression Stockings in Hospitalized Postoperative Patients

AJN, American Journal of Nursing, 2008
Graduated compression stockings, when used correctly, have been shown to significantly reduce the risk of deep-vein thrombosis in surgical patients, but they can be harmful to skin and may even increase the risk of thrombosis if the wrong size is used.

Heparin and Graduated Compression Stockings in Patients

Journal of Orthopaedic Trauma, 1991
Despite evidence that effective regimens are available for the prevention of venous thrombosis in fractured hip patients, many centers do not use prophylaxis. In order to evaluate the efficacy and safety of heparin and graduated compression stockings, we conducted a cohort study of 55 consecutive fractures hip patients treated postoperatively with ...

Graduated compression stockings to prevent deep vein thrombosis

Nursing Standard, 2008
This article describes the correct use and length of graduated elastic compression stockings to prevent deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in general surgical patients. The authors aim to establish whether above or below knee stockings are more effective in the prevention of DVTs, discuss anti-embolic prophylaxis and offer advice on the appropriate management ...
