  1. Can scud and foot pumps be put back on a patient if they have been off for several hours?

    Lkate replied to Lkate's topic in General Nursing
    I'm just worried because the patient is high risk and they may have been off for 4 hours or so.. I've heard that blood stasis can occur when the pumps are not working and then if turned on again, it could cause a PE?

    Hi :) I had an elderly, confused patient overnight who somehow managed to kick their foot pump off. I found it on the bed in the morning.. I put the pump back on the patient. I'm not sure exactly how long it was off. The patient is on enoxopatin 20mg day 2 post hip surgery and not yet mobilising. Is is it likely that this could cause a DVT?? All advice would be appreciated as I'm freaking out now that I'm home.. I told the in charge nurse and she said that it should be ok
