Assessment of peripheral arterial occlusive disease.

Abstract:

:Many older patients in critical care settings have significant arterial disease, so the assessment of peripheral circulation may be important in their management. A great deal of information can be gained through the physical examination, which can be supplemented by the use of the Doppler velocity detector. This device should be used to obtain quantitative pressure measurements. Special consideration must be given to evaluation early in the postoperative period.
