Abstract:
Skin perfusion pressure (SPP) is the perfusion pressure at the skin level, and it can serve as an index of microcirculation in skin and subcutaneous tissue. SPP can be measured simply, with less injury and high reproducibility in a short time, without interfering vascular calcification. It has been widely used in various fields, including evaluation of critical limb ischaemia and effect of vascular surgery, selection of proper level of amputation, and prediction of wound healing. So far, there is no relevant reports about the application of SPP in China. This article reviews the clinical application of SPP abroad.

Monitoring Both Arms:
Monitoring BP in both arms during the initial assessment is advisable, as the systolic value may differ by five to ten mm Hg between arms. For subsequent BP assessments, use the arm with the higher reading.

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...
