[Haemodynamic and clinical efficacy of electric muscular stimulation of the venous outflow in prevention of postoperative venous thromboembolic complications].

The present clinical and experimental study was carried out in order to evaluate efficacy of electrical stimulation of the crural muscles with the purpose of preventing postoperative venous thromboembolic complications. At the first stage by means of ultrasonographic angioscanning in apparently healthy volunteers (n=21) we evaluated the linear velocity of blood flow on the popliteal vein on the background of using myostimulation and compression bandage with various levels of pressure applied either separately or in a combination with each other. It was revealed that electrical stimulation of the crural muscles led to a 2.
