Value of graduated compression stockings in deep venous insufficiency.
The effect on elastic stockings on ambulatory venous pressure was investigated in 22 limbs with deep venous insufficiency. The failure of some elastic stockings to reduce the ambulatory venous pressure in some limbs is due to the lack of graduated compression, which is caused by ankle-calf disproportion--narrow ankles and wide calves. This can be recognised by using the pressure-girth profile a...

Baseline temperature 23-2°C Initial temperature 20 50C Temperature at 7 min 21 °OC Latent period >8 min Maximum rewarming time 0 20C/min The circulation of the extremities can be regulated by temperature-for example, exposure to cold in a normal person will cause vasoconstriction and a decrease in blood flow to the skin. Abnormalities of this apparently simple response have been of interest sin...
متن کاملABC of vascular diseases. Rehabilitation of the amputee.
A successful above knee amputation. The patient was walking on crutches within 10 days of operation. He had run eight miles a day until acute thrombosis of a popliteal aneurysm produced irreversible ischaemia. Most lower limb amputations are now done because of vascular insufficiency. In 1987, 4985 new lower limb amputees were referred to the disablement service centres (previously known as art...

متن کاملABC of vascular diseases. Assessment of leg ischaemia.
Measurement of systolic ankle pressure with simple inexpensive equipment: pneumatic cuff and pressure gauge (left), and Doppler ultrasound velocimeter (right) to detect dorsalis pedis and posterior tibial signals. Pain on walking is a common complaint usually caused by arthritis or sciatica, but stenosis of the spinal canal and venous insufficiency must also be considered before ischaemia is co...
