Anti-embolic stockings should be applied to patients who are at risk for venous thromboembolism (VTE), such as those undergoing surgery, immobile individuals, or those with a history of blood clots. They help promote venous return and reduce the risk of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) by applying graduated compression to the legs. It's important to ensure the stockings fit properly and are applied before any procedures or periods of immobility. Always follow healthcare provider recommendations regarding their use.
