Pulsed Electromagnetic Field Therapy or Pneumatic Compression VTE Prophylaxis

Recruiting now · Phase 4

Conditions studied: Venous Thromboembolism (VTE), Intensive Care Medicine, Venous Thromboembolism

In brief

Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is frequent in patients in the intensive care unit (ICU). Pharmacologic prophylaxis is sometimes contraindicated, and mechanical prophylaxis is used. The primary objective of the study is to compare Pulsed Electromagnetic Field Therapy (PEMF) with conventional mechanical prophylaxis for the prevention of VTE in patients in the ICU.
