Official Title: Electromuscular Stimulation Therapy as a Prophylactic Method to Reduce Thromboses Related to PICC Catheters in Patients Hospitalized in Critical Care Units. Randomized Clinical Trial.
Brief Summary:
Introduction: The placement of a peripheral inserted central catheter (PICC) is a common practice in the hospital setting. However, despite all the advances reported, venous devices are not free of complications and catheter-related thrombosis (CRT), being one of the most prevalent. Electro muscular stimulation therapy can be a measure for the prevention of CRT. Objective: To know the efficacy of electro muscular stimulation therapy in patients hospitalized in critical care units to prevent venous thrombosis…
