2. Cold compression therapy - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cold_compression_therapy

   Cold compression therapy, also known as hilotherapy, combines two of the principles of rest, ice, compression, elevation to reduce pain and swelling from a sports or activity injury to soft tissues and is recommended by orthopedic surgeons following surgery. The therapy is especially useful for sprains, strains, pulled muscles and pulled ligaments.

6. Compression stockings - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compression_stockings

   By compressing the surface veins, arteries and muscles, they force circulating blood through narrower channels. As a result, the arterial pressure is increased, which causes more blood to return to the heart and less blood to pool in the feet. There are two types of compression stockings, gradient and anti-embolism. [2] Compression stockings

7. RICE (medicine) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RICE_(medicine)

   Compression refers to wearing bandages, stockings, braces, or similar devices to apply pressure over a localized area to reduce swelling and stop bleeding. [1] [2] The increased pressure pushes fluids into the blood vessels to drain away from the area. [7] The effects of compression on swelling reduction are temporary and gravity-dependent. [18]

8. LUCAS device - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LUCAS_device

   The LUCAS device delivers high-quality compressions at a continuous rate, while up to a third of manual compressions can be incorrect. [9] In 2013, a 68-year-old male made a complete recovery, including no intellectual or neurological deficits, after an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest after 59 minutes of mechanical compressions on a LUCAS device ...
