GAPS: a study to determine the need for stockings to prevent blood clots Chief Investigator: Prof. Alun Davies Graduated compression as an Adjunct to Pharmacoprophylaxis in Surgery

All surgical patients at medium or high risk for Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) or pulmonary embolism (PE) should receive both: Compression stockings (e.g.TEDs) Blood thinners New evidence suggests compression stockings do not offer any benefit in addition to using blood thinners.

GAPS is a research study when undergoing surgery to see if there is any benefit for patients to wear compression stockings to prevent DVT when undergoing surgery

GAPS is looking to recruit 2236 patients over 18 months from 7 hospitals Heart of England NHS Foundation Trust Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust University Hospital Southampton NHS Foundation Trust Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust Salisbury NHS Foundation Trust Portsmouth NHS Trust
