Summary
This study tested whether a small, wearable device called Geko, which uses mild electrical pulses to stimulate leg muscles, can help prevent dangerous blood clots in critically ill adults. Forty intensive care patients were randomly assigned to receive either the Geko device or standard compression boots. The main goal was to see if the Geko device could be applied successfully and consistently in a busy ICU setting.
