Postoperative intermittent pneumatic compression for preventing venous thromboembolism in Chinese lung cancer patients: a randomized clinical trial.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Postoperative lung cancer patients belong to the high-risk group for venous thromboembolism (VTE). The standardized preventive measures for perioperative VTE in lung cancer are not perfect, especially for the prevention and treatment of catheter-related thrombosis (CRT) caused by carried central venous catheters (CVCs) in lung cancer surgery.

Patients and methods

This study included 460 patients with lung cancer undergoing video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) in our center from July 2020 to June 2021. Patients were randomized into two groups, and intraoperatively-placed CVCs would be carried to discharge. During hospitalization, the control group was treated with low-molecular-weight heparin (LMWH), and the experimental group with LMWH + intermittent pneumatic c
