Trauma Clinical Trial
Official title:
Feasibility Study of a Randomized Controlled Trial of a Novel Device vs. Intermittent Pneumatic Compression for Prevention of Venous Thromboembolism in Trauma Patients
Trauma patients are at a high risk of developing blood clots in the legs (deep vein thrombosis - DVT), which can travel to the lungs and cause serious health consequences. Often, these patients cannot receive blood-thinning medication to prevent these blood clots because of the risk of bleeding; in this case, they are usually given intermittent pneumatic compression devices (IPCs) to prevent blood clots. IPCs are inflatable sleeves that fit over the legs and periodically inflate and deflate, helping to pump blood out of the legs and thus reduce the risk of blood clot formation. Several studies suggest that IPCs are working properly on the patient only 60-70% of the time. Some patients also find them uncomfortable. A new device (geko) that works by stimulating the leg muscles and increasing blood flow in the legs has recently been developed. To compare the geko with IPCs, this study will randomly assign trauma patients who cannot receive blood thinners for blood clot prevention to either IPCs or geko. The main goal is to determine the feasibility of doing a larger study which would compare the efficacy of these devices in preventing blood clots. The amount of time the devices are properly used on the patients, comfort and tolerability, development of blood clots, and blood flow in the leg veins and arteries will also be measured and compared between the devices.
