Summary

Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is frequent in patients in the intensive care unit (ICU). Pharmacologic prophylaxis is sometimes contraindicated, and mechanical prophylaxis is used. The primary objective of the study is to compare Pulsed Electromagnetic Field Therapy (PEMF) with conventional mechanical prophylaxis for the prevention of VTE in patients in the ICU.

Conditions

  • Venous Thromboembolism (VTE)
  • Intensive Care Medicine
  • Venous Thromboembolism

Interventions

DEVICE

Experimental: Hyperslim

The PEMF will be carried out using the Hyperslim® device. The Hyperslim® device is produced by Medical San (Lageado, RS, Brazil).

DEVICE

Active Comparator #1

The intermittent pneumatic compression group will use the devices Covidien Kendall SCD 700® (Cardinal Health) or Doctor Life 2600® (Venosan).
