Detailed Description
This study is being conducted to evaluate hemodynamic performance using the new Kendall SCD SmartFlow™ compression system with Cardinal Health Element compression sleeves. The study is intended to confirm the system's ability to increase venous blood flow over baseline as measured by blood velocity, time average mean velocity and total volume flow, in both the femoral and popliteal veins.
Study Design
Arms and Interventions
Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: Single Arm Baseline blood flow (hemodynamic) measurements will be obtained via ultrasound for all enrolled subjects. Following baseline measurements, compression will be applied and blood flow (hemodynamic) measurements will be repeated via ultrasound. |
Device: Intermittent Pneumatic Compression (IPC)(Kendall SCD SmartFlow™ compression system with Cardinal Health Element compression sleeves)
External intermittent pneumatic compression (IPC) systems are applied to subject legs and comprise of a controller, associated tubing set and single patient use disposable leg sleeves. The disposable sleeves are latex free and contain air bladder(s) that are inflated by the controller to provide compression to the legs/feet. These devices are designed to increase venous blood flow in at risk patients in order to help prevent Venous ThromboEmbolism (VTE), including Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) and Pulmonary Embolism (PE).

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Blood Velocity [baseline, +10 minutes]
Blood Velocity (Baseline, Peak) will be assessed via ultrasound in the popliteal and femoral veins.
- Time Average Mean Velocity [baseline, +10 minutes]
Time Average Mean Velocity (Baseline, Augmented) will be assessed via ultrasound in the popliteal and femoral veins.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Total Volume Flow [baseline, +10 minutes]
Total Volume Flow (Baseline, Augmented) will be assessed via ultrasound in the popliteal and femoral veins.
