In a prospective trial of preventing deep vein thrombosis electrical stimulation of the calf muscles of one leg was used in 110 patients undergoing major surgery. Deep vein thrombosis was detected by means of the (125)I-fibrinogen uptake test in nine of the stimulated legs and in 23 of the unstimulated legs. It is suggested that this technique, which is both simple and effective, should be used on all patients undergoing major surgery.
在一项预防深静脉血栓形成的前瞻性试验中,对110例接受大手术的患者使用电刺激一条腿的小腿肌肉。通过(125)I-纤维蛋白原摄取试验检测,在接受刺激的腿中有9例发生深静脉血栓形成,在未接受刺激的腿中有23例发生。建议对所有接受大手术的患者采用这种既简单又有效的技术。
