| Objective:To observe the preventive effect of intermittent pneumatic compression on deep venous thrombosis (DVT),and the effect of serum inflammatory cytokines in patients with acute cerebral infarction (ACI).Methods:Seventy patients with ACI were randomly divided into intermittent pneumatic compression group (n=35) and control group (n=35).Patients in intermittent pneumatic compression group were given clinical treatment and intermittent pneumatic compression,while those in control group were not given intermittent pneumatic compression.Color Doppler was used to evaluate the incidence of DVT at 7th and 14th day after treatment.Serum IL-1,IL-6 and TNF-α levels were determined before,and 7 and 14 days after treatment.Results:The levels of serum IL-1,IL-6 and TNF-α were lower in intermittent pneumatic compression group than in control group (P<0.05).The incidence of DVT was lower in intermittent pneumatic compression group than in control group (P<0.05).Conclusion:Intermittent pneumatic compression can reduce the levels of serum inflammatory cytokines, and prevent DVT in patients with ACI. |
