N2 - Patients with critical limb ischaemia, without possibility for vascular surgery reconstruction, are a high selected population with a wide scale occurrence of co-morbidity and mortality. We outline the use of intermittent pneumatic compression (IPC) to these patients. Impact on both wound healing and cost-effectiveness concerning IPC use are recently shown. The overriding purpose of IPC use is to decrease the frequency of major and to lower the extent of ischaemic rest pain. IPC equipment is currently available around the country, but is not often used on the indication critical limb ischaemia.
