ThrombophiliaNCT00356434
A Comparison of Sequential Compression Devices and Foot Pumps in the Obstetric Population
A study testing Kendall A-V foot impulse pump, model 6060 and Kendall sequential compression device, model 9525 in people with Thrombophilia, run by Johns Hopkins University at 2 sites in United States.
Trial summary
The researchers at Johns Hopkins University believe that the foot pump will be superior to sequential compression devices in comfort and patient compliance which may increase provider efforts to prevent deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in pregnancy. Read more about this study

About this study
Official title: Study of Patient Compliance and Comfort Using Sequential Compression Devices and Foot Pumps for DVT Prevention
The researchers at Johns Hopkins University believe that the foot pump will be superior to sequential compression devices in comfort and patient compliance which may increase provider efforts to prevent deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in pregnancy.
Read the detailed description
The investigators will be comparing sequential compression devices (SCDs) to foot pumps to determine if foot pumps will be better tolerated by obstetric patients, both antepartum and intrapartum. Patients in whom thromboembolic prophylaxis is deemed necessary and ordered by the treating physician, who agree to participate in the study will be randomly assigned to receive SCDs or the foot pump as part of their thromboembolic prophylaxis regimen. The investigators will administer a questionnaire to assess patients' satisfaction and comfort with each device and they will be asked to complete a log of hours they wore their assigned device for a 7 day period (or as long as they are prescribed). Random spot checks to verify compliance will be performed.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Kendall A-V foot impulse pump, model 6060Device
Will wear device for DVT prevention and receive questionnaire about compliance and comfort. Will also undergo random checks to confirm compliance with instructions and use
Kendall sequential compression device, model 9525Device
Will wear device for DVT prevention and receive questionnaire about compliance and comfort. Will also undergo random checks to confirm compliance with instructions and use
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Active comparator | Patients will have the Kendall, A-V foot impulse pump, model 6060 applied to their lower extremities to prevent DVT Receives: Device: Kendall A-V foot impulse pump, model 6060 |
| 2 | Active comparator | Patients will have the Kendall,sequential compression device, model 9525 applied to the lower extremities to prevent DVT Receives: Device: Kendall sequential compression device, model 9525 |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Comfort Level
Scale of 1-10 (1 being very uncomfortable and 10 being very uncomfortable) describing level of comfort during the time of device use (composite score of heat, softness, discomfort).
Measured: once during first 7 days of hospitalization
Patient Compliance
Nurse conducting random checks throughout hospital stay and events of noncompliance will be recorded
Measured: for 1-7 days during hospitalization
Secondary outcomes (1)
DVT Prevention
positive DVT on ultrasound
Measured: up to 3 months
