About

This study is a 3-legged randomized study examining whether during shoulder surgery performed in the beach chair position active compressions of the lower leg with a sequential compression device (SCD) have a superior effect on stabilizing cerebral and circulatory hemodynamics when compared to TED stockings or a control group without any stockings.

60 participants in 3 patient groups

Sequential compression device

Experimental group

Description:

During arthroscopic shoulder surgery, an SCD device will be applied to the patients legs during surgery. Cerebral oxygenation and circulatory parameters will be recorded continuously throughout the surgery. Recordings will be hidden to the primary caregiver.

Treatment:

Device: Sequential compression device

TED stockings

Experimental group

Description:

During arthroscopic shoulder surgery, TED stockings will be applied to the patients legs during surgery. Cerebral oxygenation and circulatory parameters will be recorded continuously throughout the surgery. Recordings will be hidden to the primary caregiver.

Treatment:

Other: TED stockings

Control

No Intervention group

Description:

no stockings will be applied to the patients legs
