This methodology provides means for the investigation of relationships between the pressure in the garment, interface pressure, tissue deformation, and hemodynamic respond to IPC. The clinical efficacy of IPC should not be explicitly attributed to the magnitude of the pressure in the garment. Similar hemodynamic responses to IPC can be produced by different spatial distributions of pressure resulting in different patterns of tissue compression. Further investigation of biomechanical mechanisms of IPC is needed to guide the development of better engineering solutions for mechanical devices aimed at prevention of venous thrombosis.

“…Another potential benefit of this mobile compression device is the synchronized flow technology. This technology synchronizes external compressions of the device to the patient's venous phasic flow such that compression occurs in synchronization with the natural venous phasic flow, allowing for a 66% increase in the peak venous velocity as measured at the common femoral vein 14 .…”

“…Before miniaturization of IPC devices, disadvantages were mainly due to their cumbersome size and their requirement to be connected to a static power source, both of which tended to confine patients to bed and delayed hospital discharge and rehabilitation 65,66 . However, new developments in battery‐operated miniature devices will reduce the problems associated with IPC device size and are just as effective as nonminiaturized devices 63 …”

“…New developments in battery-operated miniature devices have been shown to have equivalent effects on peak femoral vein flow velocity and the incidence of DVT after joint replacement. 63 Foot compression devices generally require higher compression pressures to produce more modest changes in femoral vein velocity but are increasingly being used especially when there is restriction to access the lower limb. 64 Foot IPC systems appear to be effective in VTE prevention and are at least as effective as LMWH.…”

Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is an important cause of morbidity and mortality in a substantial number of the Australian community. There exists a considerable range of potential prophylactic measures aimed at reducing the risk of VTE. These antithrombotic regimens include pharmacological interventions and mechanical techniques to counteract venous stasis including graduated compression stockings and intermittent pneumatic compression (IPC) devices. This review particularly concentrates on evidence for the use of mechanical prophylaxis and the interrelationship with pharmacological methods of VTE prophylaxis. Mechanical and pharmacological methods of VTE prophylaxis are both effective and when used in combination have synergistic effects. Although there are a number of different IPC systems, little evidence is available at present that differentiates these on the basis of VTE prevention. Compliance and patient acceptance of IPC as a preventative measure has improved with miniaturization and device weight reduction. IPC should be used according to recommended guidelines. In moderate-risk patients when pharmacological prophylaxis is contraindicated, IPC can be used as an alternative. High-risk patients should receive both mechanical and pharmacological prophylaxis to reduce their relative risk. Until further evidence becomes available, the specific type of IPC unit chosen will generally be determined by ease of use, availability and cost.
