EFFICIENCY OF COMPRESSION THERAPY IN THE PREVENTION OF CHRONIC VENOUS INSUFFICIENCY AND POSTPARTUM THROMBOEMBOLIC EVENTS IN PREGNANT WOMEN

Objective. to evaluate the efficacy of VENOTEKS compression knitted fabric used to prevent the development and/or progression of lower limb venous insufficiency and thromboembolic events during pregnancy, labor, and postpartum. Subjects and methods. The study enrolled 30 pregnant women aged 30—45 years during the second trimester (at 25 weeks) of pregnancy with signs of chronic lower limb venous insuff iciency (CEAP C2 to C4). General clinical studies, including determination of soluble fibrin-monomer complexes, D-dimer, and platelet aggregability, and ultrasound examination of lower limb venous blood flow. Results. The mean time for usage of the compression knitted fabric was 104.7+17.9 days. Of them, VENOTEKS Clinic 2 tights, code number 206, were used for an average of 98.53+18.06 days; VENOTEKS HOSPITAL ANTIEMBOLISM stockings, code number 401, were worn for 6.2+0.71 days. There was a reduction in the objective and subjective symptoms of chronic venous insufficiency in virtually 100% of cases. The antithrombotic effect of the medical compression knitted fabric is most likely to be associated with decreased blood stasis and enhanced lower limb venous circulation. There is no strong data suggesting that the compression knitted fabric has an impact on the hemostatic system, which is reasonable without using specific pharmacotherapy. No thrombotic events even in patients with a complicated medical history are indicative of the efficiency of using the VENOTEKS HOSPITAL ANTIEMBOLISM compression knitted fabric, code number 401, during labor and in immediate postpartum.
