Effectiveness of intermittent pneumatic compression in preventing venous thromboembolism in post-operative patients
(Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2020-01-19) Ñahuincopa Benito, Pilar Rocio; Pretell Aguilar, Rosa María
Objective: Systematize the evidence on the effectiveness of intermittent pneumatic compression for the prevention of venous thromboembolism in postoperative patients. Material and Method: The systematic review consists of 10 scientific articles which were obtained from the following database: Pubmed, Epistemonikos, Journals books, Cochrane Library. Of the 10 articles, 100% are of high quality, 60% are systematic reviews, 20% are meta-analyses and 20% are randomized controlled trials. According to the strength of recommendation, it is 100% strong, depending on the country where the investigations were carried out, 50% corresponds to the United States, 10% to Singapore, Ireland, China, London and Spain. Results: Of the 10 articles reviewed, 80% demonstrate that intermittent pneumatic compression is effective for the prevention of venous thromboembolism in postoperative patients. On the other hand, 20% demonstrate effectiveness in the use of a combined approach for the prevention of venous thromboembolism in postoperative patients. Conclusions: 8 of the 10 articles demonstrate the effectiveness of intermittent pneumatic compression in the prevention of venous thromboembolism in postoperative patients and 2 of 10 demonstrate that intermittent pneumatic compression was not effective alone for the prevention of venous thromboembolism in postoperative patients.
