The relationship between cold intolerance and cutaneous blood flow in digital replantation patients
Abstract:
Twenty-one patients with replanted digits were examined. An assessment of cold symptoms relating to their replants was made and the pulp two-point discrimination measured. Cutaneous blood flow was then monitored using a laser Doppler flowmeter. Recordings were taken at room temperature and following cooling. In all cases but one flow decreased with lowering of temperature in both replanted and normal digits. In eleven cases (52%) replant flow fell to noticeably lower levels compared to normal digits, but in the remainder this difference was not apparent. The presence or absence of cold intolerance did not correlate with flow levels or with two-point discrimination measurements.

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...
