Effectiveness of intraoperative administration of intermittent pneumatic compression in preventing deep vein thrombosis in lung cancer patients undergoing video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery lobectomy

Abstract: Background: This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of intermittent pneumatic compression (IPC) in the prevention of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in lung cancer patients undergoing video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) lobectomy. Methods: This study included 495 lung cancer patients undergoing VATS from March 2018 to November 2018. Patients were randomly assigned to an IPC group or a control group using sealed envelopes containing a slip indicating the allocation. IPC calf sleeves were applied to b… Show more

“…This was most likely a consequence of the low specificity nature of the test itself, as D-dimer elevation can be caused by several factors, including anesthetic stimulation, tumor, surgical injury, and older age (13,14). In our previous study, we found that IPC could reduce the incidence of DVT to 0.8% (15), which indicated that SHCSs give a more modest performance in DVT prevention than IPC.…”

“…Strong risk factors for venous thromboembolism include active cancer, major surgery, reduced mobility, older age, and a history of DVT (4). Among lung cancer patients, those who undergo surgery are at increased risk of developing DVT (5)(6)(7)(8); as many as 16.2% of these patients develop DVT (9).…”

“…The present study was not designed to investigate whether pre-operative IPC, either alone or in combination with post-operative IPC, reduced the incidence of DVT or PE in women undergoing laparoscopic gynecologic surgery. Interestingly, pre-operative IPC has been reported to decrease the incidence of DVT in patients with lung cancer undergoing video-assisted thoracoscopic lobectomy ( 28 ) and elderly patients undergoing hip fracture surgery ( 29 ). Whether or not pre-operative IPC prevents DVT in women undergoing laparoscopic gynecologic surgery will need to be investigated in a future randomized controlled trial.…”

“…Wang 45 reported IPC; PARRY and Richardson 27,39 compared two prophylactic regimes (LMWH vs LMWH + IPC) and Rollins 34 presented perioperative prophylaxis for VTEs including intraoperative intermittent pneumatic leg compression, prophylactic enoxaparin, and graduated stockings during in-hospital period.…”
