Anesthesia for leg amputation in high risk patients: Case reports

Cases: Sixteen cases with American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status (ASA-PS) 3 or 4 for leg amputation were reported. Fifteen patients were medicated with more than two anticoagulants and 11 patients had bleeding tendency. Thirteen patients received below knee amputation (BKA) and thre...
متن کاملPrediction of leg viability and amputation level by fluorescein uptake.
There is a continuous search for more reliable, locally non-invasive tests for prediction of leg viability and for the selection of amputation levels in dysvascular lower limbs. Refinement of the dermofluorometer by addition of a shielded probe and fibreoptic bundles has reduced the bulk of the instrument and permitted rapid testing. Excitation light is carried to the tissues and emitted fluore...
متن کاملPerioperative and rehabilitative outcomes after amputation for ischaemic leg gangrene.
INTRODUCTION Amputation of the severely ischaemic leg is often done when limb salvage is not possible or the patient is not fit enough for it. It is therefore important to determine the natural history of these amputees as our understanding of this will have significant impact on decision making. The aim of this study was to determine the early and late morbidity and mortality rates and rehabil...
متن کاملABC of vascular diseases. Critical leg ischaemia: amputation or reconstruction.
Reconstruction of aortoiliac segment and femoroperoneal graft. Such an extensive operation is now sometimes indicated. The number ofmajor amputations done each year for vascular insufficiency is not precisely known but is probably about 10 000. This suggests that between 20% and 40% of all critically ischaemic legs are amputated eventually. Society's attitudes to amputation have changed little ...
