- Brief Summary
,No postoperative atonic hemorrhage or neuropathy was observed. Table 1 shows patient demographics, final anesthesia level, intraoperative infusion volume, blood loss volume, and urine output. Despite insignificant variances in the lower leg and ankle diameters in the PRE, POST, and 6HR measurements, compression significantly increased between PRE Left,13.6 2.4; Right, 13.4 2.4 and POST Left,,17.4 2.6 Right,16.9 2.6; p0.01 measurements.
