Summary

This study was conducted to determine the effect of anti-embolism stocking (AES) use protocol affected the development of early venous thromboembolism (VTE) in patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty (TKA).

The randomized controlled single-blind intervention study included 40 patients (Experimental Group: 20, Control Group: 20) who underwent TKA surgery in a university hospital's Orthopedics and Traumatology clinic between 2019 and 2021. While the experimental group received the AES protocol one day before the operation and continued until the 10 th day after the operation, the control group received AES on the 0 th day after the operation and remained in the patient until the 21st day after the operation. In the study, a "Data Collection Form" with DVT and PE signs and symptoms was used.

Conditions

  • Venous Thromboembolism

Interventions

OTHER

Anti-Embolism Stocking

To prevent patients undergoing TKA surgery from being affected by one another, the patients were hospitalized in separate rooms, and the orthopedic clinic team was made aware of the situation. The patients in the control group were told not to remove their socks until the sutures were removed after the operation, whereas the patients in the experimental group were told to remove their socks on the 10th day after the operation, so the patients had no idea which group they were in.
