regimen for pneumatic compression device

The LYQLI was measured in the physical, psychological and practical concerns where the significant improvement was seen on the 14 th day and no difference on 1 st day whereas the HADS having parameters of anxiety and depression shows improvement on the 7 th and 14 th day of intervention and no difference on 1 st day. Results: There was a significant improvement that was seen in from pre-intervention and the 14 th day of intervention followed with CDT and IPC. The improvement was calculated with measurement of arm, LYQLI ,and HADS questionnaire. The subjects were excluded with bilateral lymphedema, men with breast cancer ,and no lower extremity lymphedema. Women have observed pre-intervention and measured for lymphedema, they were provided with the CDT and IPC as the intervention which was followed on the 1 st, 7 th ,and 14 th day of intervention and measured post-intervention on the basis of questionnaires for quality of life, anxiety ,and depression. Methodology: 15 women with unilateral lymphedema post breast cancer surgery with the age of 18 years were included in the study. In conclusion, although the preventive benefits of mechanical prophylaxis on VTE might be circumscribed to select medical and surgical settings, there appears to exist no clinical reason to discourage adoption of these measures when indicated.Objective: To study the effect of complex decongestive therapy and intermittent pneumatic compression on the secondary upper extremity lymphedema in women post breast cancer surgery on anxiety, depression, and quality of life. Although the biological and clinical evidence suggests that graduate compression stockings are an effective, relatively cheap, and more comfortable thromboprophylactic measure, they appear less effective overall than intermittent pneumatic compression. The main mechanism of action appears to be related to a milking (wavelike) effect to evacuate leg veins and reduce venous stasis because an effect on the enhancement of fibrinolysis remains unproven. Overall, mechanical compression methods can reduce the risk of VTE by nearly two thirds when used as the only form of thromboprophylaxis and by about half when combined with a pharmacological approach. Although the efficiency of these measures has been extensively assessed in several clinical studies, there remain unanswered questions, including their suboptimal use and the lack of unequivocal clinical evidence supporting real benefits for preventing VTE. Accordingly, additional measures are being used in clinical practice, including graded compression stockings, intermittent pneumatic compression devices, and venous foot pumps. Although early and frequent ambulation has been historically advised for preventing VTE, this measure is inadequate per se and frequently not feasible as the sole means of mechanical thromboprophylaxis. Mechanical prophylaxis methods have been suggested because they counteract most of the components of the Virchow's triad and are not associated with any bleeding risk.

Although striking evidence now indicates that the various pharmacological anticoagulant therapies can substantially lower the risk, this benefit might be offset by a small but definite risk of hemorrhage in some circumstances. The main goal of thromboprophylaxis is to reduce mortality and morbidity associated with VTE risk factors. Venous thromboembolism (VTE), including deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism, is a leading health-care problem whose pathogenesis is usually related to the so-called Virchow's triad and involves a variety of factors classified as inherited or acquired, predisposing, or triggers.
