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.
