Sequential Compression Device and Range of Motion Exercises on Distributive Peripheral Edema and Hemodynamic Stability Among Patients in Critical Care Units
Sponsor: Karbala University
Summary
Objectives of The Study: 1. Assess the effectiveness of sequential compression device on distributive peripheral edema and hemodynamic stability for patients in critical care units. 2. Assess the effectiveness of range of motion on distributive peripheral edema and hemodynamic stability for patients in critical care units. 3. Evaluate the synergic effectiveness of sequential compression device and range of motion on distributive peripheral edema and hemodynamic stability for patients in critical care units 4. Find out the differences between the effectiveness of sequential compression device, range of motion, and synergic effectiveness of both interventions on distributive peripheral edema and hemodynamic stability 5. Find out relationships between the effectiveness of sequential compression device, range of motion, and synergic effectiveness of both interventions with patients' demographic characteristics.

Interventions
Sequential compression device
Sequential Compression Device (SCD) protocol involves a pump linked to calf and thigh braces with individual tubes, applying moderate pressure of approximately 60mmHg through a graduated air chamber in a sequential cycle across four compartments. The inflation lasts for 12 seconds followed by a 48-second deflation, with sessions lasting 2 hours daily for 5 consecutive days.
legs exercises
The Range of Motion (ROM) Exercises program entails 20 minutes of flexion-extension movements for both limbs, conducted in two sessions per day over 5 days. Patients perform passive range of motion exercises for upper extremities including movements of fingers, wrists, elbows, and shoulders, as well as for lower extremities encompassing toe, ankle, knee, and hip movements. In addition control group will receive slandered care which is limps elevation
