Prolonged immobility in the sitting position in the elderly is known to produce venous stasis with leg edema and possible skin changes.
The authors have tested a treatment protocol in 30 patients to quantify the reduction of volume caused by an adjustable compression Velcro® wrap (Circaid Juxtalite®, medi GmbH, Bayreuth, Germany) after 15 days and to compare its effect on the leg volume for the next 15 days with 15- to 20-mmHg compression stockings (CS).
The authors noted a volume decrease between T0 and T15 by 10.8% (52 legs) under Circaid Juxtalite®. At T30, they observed a non-significant difference between Circaid Juxtalite® (-1%) and the CS (1.3%).
A Velcro® adjustable compression wrap (Circaid Juxtalite®) is efficient in reducing stasis edema in the elderly. Stabilization of the leg volume with the use of 15-20 mmHg CS suggests that a high pressure to maintain results is not required to maintain results.
已知老年人长时间久坐不动会导致静脉淤滞,出现腿部水肿并可能伴有皮肤变化。
作者对30名患者测试了一种治疗方案,以量化使用可调节加压尼龙搭扣绷带(德国拜罗伊特美迪有限公司的Circaid Juxtalite®)15天后腿部体积的减少量,并在接下来的15天内将其对腿部体积的影响与15至20 mmHg的加压弹力袜(CS)进行比较。
作者注意到,在Circaid Juxtalite®治疗下,从T0到T15腿部体积减少了10.8%(52条腿)。在T30时,他们观察到Circaid Juxtalite®(-1%)与CS(1.3%)之间无显著差异。
可调节加压尼龙搭扣绷带(Circaid Juxtalite®)在减轻老年人淤滞性水肿方面有效。使用15 - 20 mmHg的CS可使腿部体积稳定,这表明维持效果并不需要高压。
