[Peripheral hemodynamics in patients with posttraumatic osteomyelitis of leg bones]
Abstract:
Complex examination of peripheral hemodynamics with rheovasography, US-dopplerography and laser flowmetry was carried out in 67 patients with posttraumatic osteomyelitis of leg bones. In these patients before treatment there were sings of functional spasm of popliteal artery, increase of circulatory resistance in the bed of anterior and posterior tibial arteries, decrease of precapillary vessels reactivity by hypertonic type, decrease of capillary elasticity, their spasm, difficulty of blood outflow from great and middle veins. During treatment by transsosseous osteosynthesis main-changed type of blood flow, unstable vascular tones, decrease of greater artery elasticity, hypertoe of pre- and postcapillary small vessels were found. After treatment normalization of vascular tone, balance of status of pre- and postcapillary vessels, normal reaction of capillaries to functional test were demonstrated.

Nutrient Artery
The nutrient artery is the main blood vessel that enters the diaphysis via the nutrient foramen. While most long bones have only one nutrient foramen, large bones, such as the femur, may have two. This...

Jugular Venous Pressure (JVP) Measurement
Position the patient at a thirty- to forty-five-degree angle or in a semi-fowler's position. Look for the highest point of pulsation in the internal jugular vein and measure the vertical distance to the angle of Loius or sternal angle. A normal JVP is 3-4 cm above the...
