Brief summary

This study is a 3-legged randomized study examining whether during shoulder surgery performed in the beach chair position active compressions of the lower leg with a sequential compression device (SCD) have a superior effect on stabilizing cerebral and circulatory hemodynamics when compared to TED stockings or a control group without any stockings.
