Sequential Compression Devices Effect on Fibrinolysis in Plastic Surgery Outpatients

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Blood Coagulation Disorder

In brief

This study investigates a possible fibrinolytic effect of sequential compression devices (SCDs). These devices have been used for decades to reduce risk of deep venous thrombosis (DVT). However, a randomized study in plastic surgery outpatients has not been done. This study is undertaken to remedy that deficiency in our knowledge base.
