Popis: Purpose: To investigate the clinical effectiveness of a pneumatic compression device (PCD) combined with low-molecular-weight heparin (LMWH) for the prevention and treatment of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in trauma patients.Materials and Methods: This study retrospectively analyzed 286 patients with mild craniocerebral injury and clavicular fractures admitted to our department from January 2016 to February 2020. Patients treated with only LMWH were used as the control group, and patients treated with a PCD combined with LMWH were used as the observation group. The incidence of DVT, the postoperative change in the visual analog scale (VAS) score and coagulation function were observed and compared between the two groups. Excluding the influence of other single factors, binary logistic regression analysis can indicate whether the use of a PCD effectively improves the patient's postoperative coagulation function.Result: The incidence of DVT in the observation group was significantly lower than that in the control group (7.1% vs. 16.7%, respectively, χ2=4.605, P0.05). According to binary logistic regression analysis, the postoperative risk of DVT in patients with LMWH alone was 1.764 times that with the combination of LMWH+PCD (P Conclusion: Compared with LMWH alone, PCD combined with LMWH can improve blood rheology and coagulation function in patients with traumatic brain injury and clavicular fracture, significantly reduce the incidence of DVT, shorten the hospital stay and improve the clinical effectiveness of treatment.
