About DVT Therapy
The best way to prevent a DVT is through ambulation (walking). Prior to surgery, blood is drawn and tested for thickness, clotting factors, etc. A patient has to be within a normal range for their lab values to qualify for surgery. The reason walking is so important for blood clot prevention is because every time you take a step, your calf muscle pushes against a large vein and helps blood move up towards your heart, preventing clotting from occurring. In the event that a patient is unable to walk, devices like the Kinex ThermoComp may be used to stimulate blood flow and mechanically facilitate the benefits of ambulation.
Patients are screened prior to surgery in order to make sure that they are at low risk for developing a DVT post-surgery. However, after surgery, medications are often used to decrease the risk of DVT, mechanical pumps on the foot and/or calf are used as well to prevent DVT, and encouraging the patient to ambulate as soon as safely possible are all ways to decrease the risk of DVT following surgery.
DVTs may be prevented in immobile patients through medication, as well as through compression pumps like the Kinex ThermoComp.
