Vascular injuries in the extremities in battle casualties
Abstract:
A serial of 51 wounded soldiers with 54 arterial and 28 venous injuries is presented. Interposition of autogenous vein grafts was performed in 30 arterial injuries. Lateral suture or patch arterioplasty was performed in 7 arteries. End-to-end anastomosis was possible in 8 cases. Primary vein repair was performed in 14 vein injuries. Lateral suture, patch plasty, end-to-end anastomosis and interposition composite vein grafts were used. A distal temporary arteriovenous fistula to increase the flow through venous interposition grafts was performed in 4 cases. Hyperbaric oxygen treatment was used in 7 cases in which successful arterial repair did not reverse ischaemia, and it prevented major amputations. Neurovascular injuries are not always an indication for primary amputation. Six such cases are discussed.

Burn Injuries
The damage results in the death of skin cells, which can lead to a massive loss of fluid. Dehydration, electrolyte imbalance, and renal and circulatory failure follow, which can be fatal. Burn patients are treated with intravenous fluids to offset...

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...
