Sequential Compression Device in Distributive Peripheral Edema and Hemodynamic Stability Among Patients in Critical Care Units

Objectives of The Study: 1. Assess the effectiveness of sequential compression device on distributive peripheral edema and hemodynamic stability for patients in critical care units. 2. Find out relationships between the effectiveness of sequential compression device, range of motion, and synergic effectiveness of both interventions with patients' demographic characteristics.

Inclusion Criteria: * Adult patients who were hospitalized in critical care units. * Subjects over the age of 18 years. * Presence of peripheral edema (pitting edema ≥1+ in lower extremities). * Patients how are hemodynamically stable. * Patients how are able to tolerate positioning for interventions. Exclusion Criteria: * Patients with lymphedema. * Patients with chronic kidney disease. * patients with presence of deep vein thrombosis, severe peripheral arterial disease, or phlebitis. * patients with open wounds, ulcers, or skin infections on lower limbs. * patients with fractures, orthopedic surgery, or joint immobility in lower extremities. * patients with severe cardiac failure or pulmonary edema.
