Discuss the rationale for using intermittent compression therapy to manage peripheral edema.** **E2.     Discuss the treatment procedures including parameters used when administering intermittent** **compression therapy for the upper and lower extremities. (7D21)** **E3.     Identify the criteria for referral for a compression garment fitting.** F1.      Discuss the physiological effects, treatment goals, indications, contraindications, precautions, and  treatment procedures for elastic bandaging. **(7D21)** Figure 14.47 Intermittent pneumatic compression pump. [Overview of Intermittent Pneumatic Compression (IPC)?] - - - - - - - - - *Let's think about lymphedema-* Which technique do you think is better to promote lymphatic flow - deep ("milking") vs light technique? "A greater understanding of how the lymphatic system functions has created a paradigm shift in the way intervention for all types of swelling is planned and delivered. Aggressive compression techniques were once used to "milk" the fluid out of a limb. [It is now understood that deep pressure and mechanical "milking" techniques are counterproductive and harmful to the superficial capillary network that filters lymph and interstitial fluids." ] Figure 14.38 Manual lymphatic drainage on the LE.
