  • Application of Anti-embolism Stockings Combined with Air Pressure Instrument in the Prevention of Lower Extremity Deep Vein Thrombosis after Total Pelvic Floor Reconstruction

    ObjectiveTo observe the effect of anti-embolism stocking and air pressure therapeutic apparatus on the prevention of lower extremity deep vein thrombosis (DVT) after pelvic floor reconstruction. MethodsNinety-one patients who were treated with pelvic floor reconstruction between June 2011 and May 2013 were divided into trial group (n=42) and control group (n=49) according to random number table method. The patient age, body mass index (BMI), level of education, general anesthesia and surgery time between the two groups had no difference of statistical significance (P>0.05). The control group was treated traditionally. The trial group used anti-embolism stocking 30 minutes before surgery, and from 6 hours after operation until 3 days later when the patient could walk with the combined use of pneumatic therapeutic treatment. Between day 5 and 7 after surgery, lower limb vascular color Doppler ultrasound was done to observe the occurrence of lower limb DVT in both the two groups. ResultsThe incidence of lower extremity DVT was 2.38% and 18.36% in the trial and the control group respectively. There was a statistically significant difference between the two groups (P<0.05). ConclusionCombined use of anti-embolism stocking 30 minutes before operation and pneumatic therapeutic treatment 6 hours postoperatively can be effective in preventing the formation of DVT after total pelvic floor reconstruction.
