    Objective: Systematize the evidence linked to the intermittent pneumatic compression system for the prevention of deep vein thrombosis in surgical patients. Material and methods: The systematic review of the 10 scientific articles evidenced on the intermittent pneumatic compression system was obtained from the following databases, Medline, Pubmed, Epistemonikos and Google academic. They were analyzed according to the Grade scale to determine the strength and quality of the evidence. Of the articles investigated, 50% (5/10) correspond to the methodological design of a Case and Control Study, 30% (3/10) are Systematic Review, 10% (1/10) are Meta-analysis, and 10% (1/10) is Randomized Controlled Trial. Results: Of the 10 articles reviewed, 100% (10/10) demonstrate that the intermittent pneumatic compression system prevents and reduces deep vein thrombosis in surgical patients. Conclusions: Of the 10 articles reviewed, 10 show that intermittent pneumatic compression prevents and reduces deep vein thrombosis in patients undergoing surgical procedures.
