Effects of Different Compression Pressure Levels on Peripheral Circulation After Surgery

Sponsor: Agri Ibrahim Cecen University

Summary

After surgery, elastic compression is commonly used on the legs to support blood circulation and reduce the risk of complications such as swelling and venous thromboembolism. In clinical practice, compression is usually applied at fixed pressure levels, although individual patients may respond differently depending on their circulation and tissue tolerance. The purpose of this pilot study is to evaluate how different compression pressure levels affect peripheral circulation in adult patients during the early postoperative period. Participants will receive three different levels of leg compression applied sequentially under controlled conditions. Peripheral circulation will be assessed using non-invasive methods, including photoplethysmography and peripheral perfusion index measurements. The findings of this study are expected to provide preliminary evidence on individual circulatory responses to different compression pressures and to support the development of more personalized postoperative compression strategies in future clinical practice.
