Summary
This study tested whether a small device called Geko, which uses mild electrical pulses to make leg muscles twitch, can prevent dangerous blood clots in critically ill adults. It compared the Geko device to standard compression boots (IPCs) in 40 ICU patients. The goal was to see if the Geko device could be used successfully and improve blood flow in the legs.
