Description
Deep Vein Thrombosis pumps or DVT pumps are medical devices that are designed to manage or just prevent Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT). DVT is a condition where blood clots form in your deep veins, typically in their legs. Some may indicate DVT pumps as Sequential Compression Devices (SCDs) or intermittent pneumatic compression (IPC) devices. These devices play a crucial role in improving the blood circulation to prevent the formation of blood clots, especially people who are at risk due to surgery, immobility or any other medical condition.
Features And Functions Of A DVT Pump
1. Sequential Compression:- DVT pumps will operate using a system of inflatable cuffs or sleeves that are placed around the legs. The cuffs inflate sequentially, applying some pressure to different parts of your legs in a rhythmic manner. This sequential compression will help you to mimic the natural pumping action of the calf muscles to promote venous blood flow.
2. Intermittent Deflation and Inflation:- These cuffs will inflate or deflate at regular intervals, creating a wave-like motion that moves in the upward direction through your leg. This intermittent action will prevent blood stasis in the deep veins to reduce the risks of clot formation.
3. Graduated Pressure:- DVT pumps may often provide graduated pressure which means that the applied pressure is higher at the distal end and gradually decreases towards the proximal end. This gradient assists in pushing the blood towards the heart.
4. Customizable settings:- Many DVT pumps allow your healthcare providers to customize the pressure settings, inflation and deflation times, and cycle duration that is based on the patient’s condition and their needs.
5. Portable Options:- Some DVT pumps can be battery-operated, or portable design, allowing the patients to use them during ambulation or at home. This is basically important for people who are at high risk of DVT because of a surgery or a prolonged immobility.
• Post- Surgical Prophylaxis:- DVT Pumps are most commonly used in hospitals post-surgery, mainly for patients that are undergoing procedures that will carry a higher risk of blood clot formation. This will include abdominal surgeries, orthopedic surgeries such as joint replacement, or any other major interventions.
• Immobility:- Patients that are suffering from immobility because of injury, illness, or hospitakization are at a huge risk of DVT. A DVT pump can be used to enhance the blood circulation in legs to prevent formation of clot during a long time of bed rest.
• Long- Haul Flights:- Individuals who are taking long-haul flights, where prolonged sitting can also contribute to risks of DVT, may use portable DVT pumps as a preventive measure. These devices can help in maintaining the blood flow during an extended immobility period.
• Chronic Conditions:- People suffering from chronic conditions that will increase the risks of DVT may utilize DVT pumps as a part of their prolonged management. This may also include individuals with a history of DVT or cardiovascular diseases.
• Home Care:- Portable DVT pumps may often be prescribed for home use, allowing patients to continue some preventive measures against DVT after being discharged from the hospital.
