Abstract: ResumoContexto: A presença de edema vespertino nos membros inferiores de indivíduos normais, após jornada habitual de trabalho, foi demonstrada na literatura nacional e internacional. O ritmo de formação e o acúmulo desse edema variam de acordo com os distintos turnos laborais.Objetivo: O edema de membros inferiores tem sido descrito após jornadas habituais de trabalho e representa uma queixa freqüente na prática vascular. O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar a evolução do edema em indivíduos normais durante os… Show more

“…They inferred that vessels suffer harmful effects from gravitational pressure which, in turn, interfere in valve function, contributing to increased venous pressure and causing interstitial edema or internal dilation of vessels. In a later study, 16 the authors employed water plethysmography to assess volume differences in the lower limb, at 7 AM, 1 PM and 7 PM, in individuals apparently free from CVD and who spent prolonged periods in static positions during their working days, finding that the largest differences were between the end of the morning and the afternoon, and also confirmed these findings with people whose jobs involved a variety of postures (orthostatic, sitting and walking) for similar periods during the course of the day. 17 Working from these data and following the same line of investigation, this study was conducted to compare differences in LL volume and their relationships to different working positions during the day in people free from venous disease.…”

“…[13][14][15] There is also clear evidence that this increase in LL volume observed at the end of the morning is greater than the increase that occurs during the afternoon. 16,17 Nevertheless, the majority of these studies investigated jobs in which either an orthostatic position or walking is the predominant position maintained throughout the day. In the present study, possible differences in volume variations during the working day were investigated and compared in terms of the predominant posture adopted when at work.…”

“…This method is known as water plethysmography and it is assumed that the immersed volume of the extremity is equivalent to the volume of water that is displaced into a recipient in which the excess volume is measured in absolute numbers. [21][22][23] In order to obtain precise values, after filling the plethysmograph, the tap was opened until no further water poured out, to set the level of the surface of the water and then the tap was closed again and the water that had drained out during this process discarded.…”

“…1 It is directly related to work absenteeism and to public healthcare expenditure. 2 Considering this socioeconomic importance, studying new techniques that can enable effective treatment with better results is generating increasing interest, particularly with relation to rates of relapse, to complications, and to early return to daily activities. 3 Treatments for CVI include: clinical management and lifestyle changes; foam sclerotherapy and varicose vein surgery using the mini-incisions technique; saphenectomy by fleboextraction; and endoluminal methods such as radio frequency and laser thermoablation (endovenous laser ablation, EVLA).…”
