Data on Edema Reported by Researchers at Yale University School of Medicine (Methods To Manage Edema and Reduce Flap Compression In Postoperative Nursing Care Following Trauma To the Lower Extremity).

Researchers at Yale University School of Medicine have conducted a study on managing edema and reducing flap compression in postoperative nursing care following trauma to the lower extremity. Techniques such as rope suspension, mini water mattresses, and pillow or blanket stacking were identified as effective measures to reduce edema and compression in patients recovering from lower extremity trauma. The research provides valuable insights for orthopaedic nurses in acute care settings and has been peer-reviewed for accuracy and reliability. For more information, readers can refer to the article "Methods To Manage Edema and Reduce Flap Compression In Postoperative Nursing Care Following Trauma To the Lower Extremity" published in Orthopaedic Nursing.
