Popis: Under conventional prevention (pharmacological and physical) of thromboembolism 30-40% of surgical patients develop deep vein thrombosis (DVT). Mechanical methods significantly increase the efficacy of prophylaxis for thromboembolism: these include intermittent pneumatic compression, A-V impulse systems and ankle motion devices. For all trauma patients it is advisable that conventional prophylaxis of thromboembolism be supplemented with elements of mechanical prophylaxis in order to reduce the continuing high thrombosis rate significantly.
