Amputation level assessment using lightguide spectrophotometry.
The aim of this experimental study was to investigate whether lightguide spectrophotometry in the visible wavelength range in skin could be used to predict stump healing viability in patients with critical lower limb ischaemia. Remission spectra recorded at two sites (medial and lateral) on the line of a proposed trans-tibial amputation (TTA) and at 10mm intervals along the leg were analysed to...
متن کاملMicro-lightguide spectrophotometry for tissue perfusion in ischemic limbs.
OBJECTIVE To validate micro-lightguide spectrophotometry (O2C) in patients with lower limb ischemia and to compare results with those obtained from toe blood pressure. METHODS We prospectively examined 59 patients, 24 of whom complained of claudication, 31 had critical ischemia, and four were asymptomatic. Diabetes was present in 19 (32%) patients. Saturation (SO(2)) and flow measured with O2...
متن کاملassessment of the efficiency of s.p.g.c refineries using network dea
data envelopment analysis (dea) is a powerful tool for measuring relative efficiency of organizational units referred to as decision making units (dmus). in most cases dmus have network structures with internal linking activities. traditional dea models, however, consider dmus as black boxes with no regard to their linking activities and therefore do not provide decision makers with the reasons...
Assessment of Dynamic Stability During Walking in Below-knee Amputation
Purpose: Dynamic stability reduces in patients with unilateral amputation; so, it is important to recognize changes in balance during walking. This study aimed to investigate the dynamic stability of unilateral below-knee amputation during walking. Methods: The present study was a quasi-experimental study, in which 10 patients with knee amputation and 10 healthy young people participated. The ...
متن کاملThe importance of amputation-level determination.
The objectives in selecting a level for lower-limb amputation include the removal of the gangrenous, infected, or traumatized portion of the limb while preserving the maximum length consistent with primary healing and successful prosthetic rehabilitation. An assessment as to the adequate removal of the diseased tissue usually presents no problem in surgical judgment . In those cases in which am...
