ECP Therapy consists of 50 one hour treatments. A full course of therapy is typically completed in seven to ten weeks. Patients lie on a treatment bed with a series of cuffs (similar to blood pressure cuffs) wrapped tightly around the calves, thighs, and buttocks. Three electrodes are placed on the patients chest to obtain heart rhythm.
Pressure cuffs inflate and deflate in time to the patients heart rhythm.
A technician remains close by during treatments to facilitate therapy and ensure patient safety and comfort.
