Intermittent Sequential Pneumatic Compression in Prevention of Venous Stasis Associated With Pneumoperitoneum During Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy

Archives of Surgery · 1993 · 88 citations · 21 references

Abstract

This study demonstrated a significant reduction in common femoral venous flow during laparoscopic cholecystectomy coincident with pneumoperitoneum and reverse Trendelenburg's position. Intermittent sequential pneumatic compression reversed that effect, returning peak systolic velocity to normal.
