Fig. 7

Compression is needed for device efficacy. Figure 7 shows the importance of the lower leg compression for full device efficacy. Each phase is shown including pre op (preoperative), intra op (intraoperative) and post op (postoperative). The temperatures (temp) recorded were hypothermic on induction and failed to rise until it was realized the lower leg compression had not been turned on. After turning on the patient’s temperature began to rise
