Summary

Compression stockings have beneficial effects on the development of venous thromboembolic complications and oedema during long- haul flights. A randomized controlled trial investigating the effect of compression stockings during short-haul flights with a duration less than fur ours is lacking. Deep vein thrombosis is very rare on flights shorter than four hours, but compression stocking could have beneficial effects on other outcomes. The aim of this study is to assess if compression stockings used during a 3-3.5-hour flight will decrease leg edema and discomfort.

Conditions

  • Edema Leg

Interventions

DEVICE
