I would argue that the systemic benefit of compression is less than the benefit in areas of the body that are compressed. It's much better than nothing, of course, but I'm not aware of any hospital protocols that eschew anticoagulation in favor of mechanical compression during periods when a patient is at high risk for DVT.
