  2. Acute limb ischaemia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acute_limb_ischaemia

    Acute limb ischemia may also be caused by traumatic disruption of blood flow to a limb, which may present with either hard signs or soft signs of vascular injury. [15] Hard signs include pulsatile bleeding, expanding hematomas (collections of blood), or absent distal pulses, and must be taken to surgery emergently.

  3. Chronic limb threatening ischemia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chronic_limb_threatening...

    Other factors which may point to a diagnosis of critical limb ischemia are a Buerger's angle of less than 20 degrees during Buerger's test, a capillary refill of more than 15 seconds or diminished or absent pulses. [citation needed] Critical limb ischemia is different from acute limb ischemia. Acute limb ischemia is a sudden lack of blood flow ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intermittent_claudication

    The following signs are general signs of atherosclerosis of the lower extremity arteries: [2] cyanosis; atrophic changes like loss of hair, shiny skin; decreased temperature; decreased pulse; redness when limb is returned to a "dependent" position (part of Buerger's test) The six "P"s of ischemia [3] Pain; Pallor (increased) Pulse (decreased ...

  5. Peripheral artery disease - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peripheral_artery_disease

    Critical limb ischemia occurs when the obstruction of blood flow in the artery is compromised to the point where the blood is unable to maintain oxygenation of the tissue at rest. [19] This can lead to pain at rest, a feeling of coldness, or numbness in the affected foot and toes. Other complications of severe PAD include lower limb tissue loss ...

  6. Gangrene - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gangrene

    After the gangrene is treated with debridement and antibiotics, the underlying cause can be treated. In the case of gangrene due to critical limb ischemia, revascularization can be performed to treat the underlying peripheral underlateral artery disease. [citation needed] Ischemic disease of the legs is the most common reason for amputations.

  7. Ischemia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ischemia

    Ischemia or ischaemia is a restriction in blood supply to any tissue, muscle group, or organ of the body, causing a shortage of oxygen that is needed for cellular metabolism (to keep tissue alive). [ 3 ] [ 4 ] Ischemia is generally caused by problems with blood vessels , with resultant damage to or dysfunction of tissue i.e. hypoxia and ...

  9. Compartment syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compartment_syndrome

    There are six characteristic signs and symptoms related to acute compartment syndrome: pain, paresthesia (reduced sensation), paralysis, pallor, poikilothermia, and pulselessness. These classical signs and symptoms may also be remembered by the 6 P's mnemonic. [5] [18] Pain and paresthesia are the early symptoms of compartment syndrome. [19] [9]
