Brief Summary
This randomized assessor-masked trial will evaluate whether knee-high moderate graduated compression stockings reduce popliteal vein dilation during long-haul economy-class air travel to Bogota. Participants will be assigned to stockings or no stockings and will undergo bilateral ultrasound before flight, within 2 hours after arrival, and at 24 and 48 hours. The primary outcome is the between-group difference in change in mean bilateral popliteal vein diameter from preflight baseline to arrival.
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria: * Age 18 to 65 years. * Economy-class commercial itinerary to Bogota with at least 4 hours of total airborne time. * No clinical indication that mandates or prohibits compression stockings. * Ability to obtain the assigned stocking before boarding and wear it as instructed. * Standardized preflight and postarrival ultrasounds completed before surgery. * Written informed consent. Exclusion Criteria: * Current deep venous thrombosis, therapeutic anticoagulation, or severe peripheral arterial disease. * Significant lower-limb skin disease, ulceration, neuropathy, or deformity preventing safe stocking use. * Pregnancy. * Planned use of another compression device during the flight. * Surgery or major intravenous fluid therapy before completion of the 48-hour examination. * Inability to complete preflight ultrasound or follow assigned treatment.
