[Specific aspects of regional hemodynamics in patients with ischemic foot contracture based on ultrasonic
Abstract:
In 20 patients with ischemic contracture of foot (ICF) the ultrasonic investigation (UI) results of peripheral blood flow of lower extremity were analyzed. The functional test was applied for differentiation of hypoperfusion and functional state of lower extremity vessels. According to UI data the blood flow in peripheral arteries in patients was characterized by an ischemic changes of different degree, most pronounced in patients with inveterate damages of popliteal artery. Increase of humero-malleolar index on the damaged extremity in patients with ICF was revealed for the first time.

Assessment of the Cardiovascular System III: Palpation
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...
