Compression Hosiery
Chronic Venous Insufficiency (CVI)
Chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) occurs when the veins in the legs cannot effectively return blood to the heart, leading to blood pooling and increased pressure in the veins. This condition often results in swelling, leg pain, skin changes, and venous ulcers. Factors such as obesity, prolonged sitting or standing, pregnancy, and deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can increase the risk of CVI. Compression hosiery plays a vital role in managing symptoms and preventing complications.
Treatments
Compression Hosiery
- Graduated compression stockings provide external pressure to support vein function and reduce swelling.
- Available in various compression levels (mild, moderate, and high) based on severity of venous insufficiency.
- Recommended for daily use to prevent blood pooling and reduce leg discomfort.
Types of Compression Hosiery
- Knee-High Compression Socks: Target swelling in the lower leg and ankle.
- Thigh-High Compression Stockings: Provide more extensive coverage for severe CVI.
- Full-Length Pantyhose: Offer full-leg support, often used in cases of DVT or pregnancy-related edema.
Medications
- Diuretics (Furosemide, Hydrochlorothiazide, Spironolactone): Help reduce fluid buildup and swelling.
- Anticoagulants (warfarin, rivaroxaban): Prevent blood clots in patients with DVT.
- Anti-inflammatory medications (Ibuprofen, Naproxen): For pain management.
Lifestyle Modifications
- Elevate legs above heart level for 15-20 minutes several times a day to promote blood flow.
- Avoid prolonged standing or sitting to prevent blood pooling.
- Exercise regularly to improve circulation and leg muscle strength.
Wound Care for Venous Ulcers
- Debridement: Removal of dead tissue to promote healing.
- Moisturizing Creams: To prevent skin breakdown and maintain skin integrity.
- Wound Dressings: Use of specialized dressings with antimicrobial properties to reduce infection risk.
Patient Education
- Proper sizing and fitting of compression stockings to ensure maximum efficacy.
- Daily inspection of skin for signs of irritation, blisters, or ulcers.
- Instruction on how to properly apply and remove compression stockings without causing skin damage.
Monitoring and Follow-Up
- Regular assessment of leg circumference to adjust compression levels as needed.
- Monitoring for signs of complications, such as skin discoloration, increased pain, or non-healing ulcers.
- Periodic evaluation of anticoagulation therapy to prevent clot formation and reduce bleeding risk.
