Pneumatic Compression Stockings
To prevent DVT and pulmonary embolism after surgery, there are several preventative measures that hospitals can take with their patients. They may force you to wear compression stockings or wear a pneumatic compression sleeve that provides intermittent pressure. You may also have to take a blood thinner or anticoagulant to help prevent your blood from clotting. Lastly, some procedures require movement soon after surgery to help get your blood pumping. Doctors should start you on a physical therapy track as soon as you are able to protect you from blood clots.
From surgery, your leg will be encased in an anti-embolism device known as inflatable pneumatic compression stockings. These cuts down the risk of blood blot formation which can occur after surgery on the lower limbs.
