Abstract
Three techniques of intermittent venous occlusion (an oscillotonometer cuff, pneumatic leggings and an automatic arterial pressure monitoring cuff (Sentinel] were applied to one upper limb of seven healthy male volunteers. Fibrinolytic activity was assessed by the measurement of the euglobulin clot lysis time during a control period followed by 1 h of intermittent venous occlusion. Although no statistically significant differences were found with any of the methods, between the control and experimental periods, there was a trend towards fibrinolytic enhancement with intermittent pneumatic compression.
