Abstract
An apparatus for preventing a venous thromboembolism of a living subject, including an inflatable cuff which is adapted to be wound around a body portion of the subject and applies a pressing pressure to the body portion so as to press the body portion and thereby prevent the venous thromboembolism; a blood-pressure-relating-information obtaining device which obtains blood-pressure-relating information which changes corresponding to blood pressure of the subject; a pressing-pressure determining device for determining the pressing pressure of the inflatable cuff, based on the blood-pressure-relating information obtained by the blood-pressure-relating-information obtaining device, according to a prescribed relationship between pressing pressure and blood-pressure-relating information, in which the pressing pressure increases as the blood pressure corresponding to the blood-pressure-relating information increases; and a pressing device which operates the inflatable cuff to apply the pressing pressure determined by the pressing-pressure determining device, to the body portion of the subject so as to press the body portion and thereby prevent the venous thromboembolism.
