Abstract :
The aims of this study were to conduct an observational study to assess the existing practice of VTE [deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE)] prophylaxis in surgical and medical in–patients in a major teaching service hospital intensive care unit (ICU) and using intermittent pneumatic compression devices in VTE prevention. Materials & Methods : Patients were randomized into two groups of 50 each Group A receiving existing protocol of VTE prophylaxis in ICU including compression stockings and pharmacological therapy while Group B patients received intermittent pneumatic compression device along with pharmacological therapy as per risk index.Results : There is evidence to support benefit of IPC (intermittent pneumatic compression ) compared to no compression or other mechanical methods for VTE prophylaxis in hospitalised patients.
