“…Graduated compression stockings present a DRPU risk for ICU patients. 102 Respiratory devices, which are often critical for patient survival, require an e ective air seal, which is determined by the size and shape of the mask. Ill-tting masks create focal pressure points and localised frictional forces that can lead to irreversible tissue damage within hours or less.…”

“…135 In 2017, the Journal of Critical Care pointed out the importance of proper management for GCS in intensive care units, where not proper use of the garment can of course lead also to pressure injuries. 136 In the same year, Li-Zha published a reply to the same article, pointing out that GCS remain a powerful tool as long as managed by expert hands, particularly in advanced cases like the intensive care unit ones. 137 An interesting paper was published in 2017 showing that, in patients affected by intermittent claudication, GCS did not decrease the limb oxygenation and the walking capacity, so pointing out the potential benefit in properly selected mixed ulcer patients.…”

Global guidelines trends and controversies in lower limb venous and lymphatic disease

Guidelines are fundamental in addressing everyday clinical indications and in reporting the current evidence-based data of related scientific investigations. At the same time, a spatial and temporal issue can limit their value. Indeed, variability in the recommendations can be found both among the same nation different scientific societies and among different nations/continents. On the other side, Garcia already published in 2014 data showing how, after three years in average, one out of five recommendations gets outdated (Martinez Garcia LM, Sanabria AJ, Garcia Alvarez E, et al. The validity of recommendations from clinical guidelines: a survival analysis. CMAJ 2014;186(16):1211–1219). The present document reports a narrative literature revision on the major international recommendations in lower limb venous and lymphatic disease management, focusing on the different countries’ guidelines, trends and controversies from all the continents, while identifying new evidence-based data potentially influencing future guidelines. World renowned experts’ opinions are also provided. The document has been written following the recorded round tables scientific discussions held at the vWINter international meeting (22–26 January 2019; Cortina d’Ampezzo, Italy) and the pre- and post-meeting literature search performed by the leading experts.

“…No real association was found between the mechanical thromboprophylaxis and the type of prophylactic heparin used, recent trauma or recent surgery [ 43 ]. Pressure injuries have been found to be a notable complication of GCS in surgical ICU patients [ 44 ]. A recent meta-analysis of 12 trials found a trend of reduced DVT risk with IPC, compared to the control group, but the reduction was not statistically significant.…”

Thromboembolism is a major complication in hospitalized patients. Intensive care unit (ICU) patients have a greater risk of thrombotic events due to additional risk factors such as immobilization, mechanical ventilation, and central catheters. The diagnosis and management of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE) in critically ill patients are challenging and these conditions are associated with high mortality. Medical thromboprophylaxis with low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) as well as unfractionated heparin (UFH) has been shown to reduce the incidence of thromboembolic events in such patients. For patients with high risk of bleeding, mechanical thromboprophylaxis can be used. Literature database was conducted on Medline for articles published up to 2018 using particular search terms such as thromboprophylaxis and venous thromboembolism in ICU patients. The following review summarizes the existing data regarding thromboprophylaxis in ICU patients with special consideration to the use of mechanical prophylaxis and pharmacologic prophylaxis using heparin products.
