Last reviewed: May 3, 2013 ~15 min read
Abstract

Anti-embolisms stocking is an effective medical tool to prevent and manage the Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT). Despite the benefits associated with anti-embolisms stocking, its safe use is very important since there is a contraindications with the use of anti-embolisms stocking that could affect its safe use. The report collects data to investigate the safe use of thromboembolic disease stockings (TEDs). The report recommends that there is a need for further research on the safety use of TEDs stockings.

¶ … safe use of thromboembolic disease stockings (TEDs)

The aim of this report is to review a current practice for the safe use of TEDs (thromboembolic disease stockings) within the surgical care setting. The paper reveals that TEDs anti-embolisms stockings assist in preventing and managing the Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT). Despite the benefits of TEDs stockings within the clinical setting, there are still contraindications in its use, which could affect its safe use. The study collects data from various medical databases, which include, CINAHL (Cumulative Index to Nursing & Allied Health), EBSCO- Medical databases -- Biomedical Library, U.S. National Library of Medicine National Institutes of Health, PubMed, and Sage Publication.
