ObjectivesGraduated elastic compression (GEC) stockings reduce reflux and venous volume but their performance on augmenting venous return is unproven. The aim of this study was to quantify the ability of stockings to increase venous outflow from the leg.DesignA prospective study comparing venous emptying without compression, versus class 1 (18–21 mmHg) and class 2 (23–32 mmHg) compression, using air-plethysmography (APG).MethodsThe right legs of 20 healthy subjects were studied supine. A 12-cm thigh-cuff was inflated in 10 mmHg steps from 0 to 80 mmHg while the corresponding increase in calf volume was recorded using the APG sensor calf-cuff. At the 80 mmHg plateau, the thigh-cuff was released suddenly to measure the unrestricted venous emp...
