Brief Summary

Abstract:<br /> Background: <br /> Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism in patients with hemorrhagic stroke is a common complication due to the movement disorders. Treatment of DVT in these patients is very difficult because there are some limitations on the use of anticoagulant drugs. <br /> Objective:<br /> The purpose of this study was to investigate the comparison of the effectiveness of Knee length graduated compression stockings versus thigh length graduated compression stockings in preventing DVT in patients with hemorrhagic stroke.<br /> Materials and methods:<br /> In this clinical trial, 88 patients with hemorrhagic stroke were divided to two groups under the DVT prophylaxis with the thigh length graduated compression stockings compared to the Knee length graduated compression stockings randomly and the prevalence of DVT in them was studied by using the clinical symptoms and Doppler ultrasound. Finally data were analyzed by using SPSS version21 and by Chi-square and Mann withney U tests. p0.05).<br /> Conclusion: In this research there was no statistically significant difference between the two groups, while the rate of DVT prevalence in the thigh length graduated compression stockings was lower than the Knee length graduated compression stockings group. Additionally, according to the differences between the two types of socks in terms of ease of use and the cost, both socks can be used depending on patient satisfaction.<br /> Keywords: Stroke- Deep vein thrombosis- Graduated compression stockings.<br />
