| Objective: To observe intermittent pneumatic compression (IPC) in the lower limbs of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) patients, and from the therapeutic effect of hemarheology aspects discusses therapeutic effect mechanism. Methods: From March 2003 to September 2010, 243 patients with DVT of lower limbs in our hospital, were double-blind randomized into 2 groups. Group B(60) received drug treatment only, besides, group A(42) received drug treatment and Intermittent Pneumatic Compression (IPC). Observe two groups of the hemorrheologic indices and crus swelling of contrast. Results: Both groups whole blood viscosity, plasma viscosity, erythrocyte aggregation index, erythrocyte electrophoresis time, the 1st day of treatment no significant difference when compared with admission, no significant difference between groups (P> 0.05),there are differences on admission ( P <0.05) and group differences on the third day (P <0.05), two groups of patients were significantly lower limb swelling subsided, but the A group of the swelling subsided faster than the control group (P <0.05). Conclusions: Intermittent pneumatic compression therapeutic apparatus can effectively alter hemorheology state, improve blood high pour-point state, effectively relieve body swelling symptoms, shorten the length of hospitalization. And do not increase the cure difficulty, the use of simple, treatment adherence. |
