Emergency room arteriography: a useful technique in the assessment of peripheral vascular injuries
Abstract:
Emergency room arteriography is a useful aid in the assessment of limbs for possible vascular injury. It can be performed quickly by junior staff in the emergency room, using simple equipment, thereby avoiding the delays commonly associated with formal radiology suite arteriography. It can also be performed in units which lack formal arteriographic facilities, and resuscitation procedures need not be interrupted while this procedure is being performed. The resulting pictures are adequate for immediate diagnosis of vascular lesions and are of great value to the trauma surgeon. This pilot study of 50 cases confirms that emergency room arteriography is a safe and effective means of diagnosis in the resuscitation area and that the films are as useful as formal angiography for immediate diagnosis of vascular lesions of a traumatic nature.

Assessment of radial pulse
The radial pulse, located at the wrist, is often the preferred site for assessing peripheral pulse because of its accessibility and dependability. The process of determining the radial pulse involves several steps:
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...
