| The therapist should apply the | stockinette over the extremity and adjust the compression sleeve.
🗑
|

| The therapist should set parameters based | on desired effect
🗑
|
||||
| A 3:1 ratio is generally used for on/off time with inflation between | 40 to 100 seconds and deflation between 10 to 35 seconds.
🗑
|
||||
| Inflation pressure generally ranges from 30 to 80 mm Hg and should not exceed | the patientʼs diastolic blood pressure.
🗑
|
||||
| Treatment of the upper extremities generally requires between | 30 and 60 mm Hg of inflation pressure
🗑
|
||||
| treatment of the lower extremities generally requires between | 40 and 80 mm Hg of inflation pressure.
🗑
|
||||
| Treatment time varies based on | diagnosis from two to four hours and is utilized from three times per week to three times per day.
🗑
|
||||
| The patient should have a | call bell and should be monitored for comfort and blood pressure readings throughout treatment.
🗑
|
||||
| When treatment time is complete | the therapist should reassess the extremity, girth measurements, and blood pressure readings.
🗑
