Intermittent pneumatic compression (IPC) devices enhance fibrinolysis and may inhibit platelet activity in addition to squeezing blood cephaladly by compressing the veins against the closed venous valves. IPC, according to a historical review, was first shown in 1972 to be effective in reducing the prevalence of subclinical deep venous thrombosis (DVT) in noncancer patients following general surgery. Review of investigations that involved 2255 patients showed that IPC reduced the rate of DVT from 268 of 1147 (23%) in the control group to 112 of 1108 (10%) in the IPC group. Compliance with the use of IPC devices is probably less in actual practice than in well‐supervised randomized controlled trials. Among 30 patients who underwent major orthopedic surgery, foot pumps were found to be used in the correct manner in only 157 of 391 observations (40%).
