Effect of venous foot pump intervention on prevention of venous thromboembolism in patients with major orthopedic surgery: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a common complication after major orthopedic surgery. The venous foot pump (VFP) is an effective mechanical preventive measure against VTE in patients. However, the differences in effectiveness based on varying usage times of VFP remain unclear.

Objective

To explore the effectiveness of VFP with different usage times in preventing VTE in patients undergoing major orthopedic surgery.

Methods

Nine databases (PubMed, Web of Science, CINAHL, Embase, Cochrane Library, CBM, VIP, CNKI, and Wanfang) were searched to identify randomized controlled trials (RCTs) evaluating VFP interventions for VTE prevention in major orthopedic surgery patients. The risk of bias in each study was assessed using the Cochrane Collaboration tool. Meta-an
