About

The study is a cohort study of patients at the University Hospital during the first two days of intensive treatment. The patients are randomly divided into two groups (N=10).

Throughout the study, group A is treated with the multilayer elastic bandage while group B is bandaged with contention only. The bandages were applied on the first and second day and were maintained in place. The bandages were applied on the first and second day and were maintained for 24 hours. All patients performed 30 minutes of physical activity in the bandage on both days.

The evaluation is based on the volumetric difference, skin quality and quality of life of these patients
