Are staff using compression hose correctly?
Are your perioperative staff using graduated compression stockings correctly? A study suggests many nurses aren't. In the study, conducted at one large hospital, 1 in 4 patients had compression hose that were the wrong size. Nearly 1 in 3 had stockings applied incorrectly, and 1 in 5 patients didn't know what the stockings were for. The study was reported in the September 2008 AJN.
