In the modified Allen test, one hand is examined at a time: [2] The patient is asked to clench their fist for about 30 seconds. Pressure is applied over the ulnar and the radial arteries so as to occlude both of them. Still elevated, the hand is then opened. It should appear blanched (pallor may be observed at the finger nails).
When interpreting FFR measurements, higher values indicate a non-significant stenosis, whereas lower values indicate a significant lesion. There is no absolute cut-off point at which an FFR measurement is considered abnormal. However, reviews of clinical trials show a cut-off range between 0.75 and 0.80 has been used when determining ...
Capillary refill time is traditionally used as a clinical indicator of tissue vascularity either after limb injury or after revascularization [15] and the most reliable and applicable site for CRT testing is the finger pulp (not at the fingernail), and the cut-off value for the normal CRT should be 3 seconds, not 2 seconds.

Modalities applied to measurement of ejection fraction is an emerging field of medical mathematics and subsequent computational applications. The first common measurement method is echocardiography, [7] [8] although cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), [8] [9] cardiac computed tomography, [8] [9] ventriculography and nuclear medicine (gated SPECT and radionuclide angiography) [8] [10 ...

Kylie Kelce said her husband Jason Kelce went overboard trading friendship bracelets at Taylor Swift’s Eras tour — stacking them up so high they cut off his circulation. On the Dec. 19 episode ...
The test takes about 45 minutes. Results are reported either as the absolute values of the tissue in question (in mmHg) or as a ratio of the tissue in question to the control tissue. The normal oxygen tension in the foot is approximately 60 mmHg, and the normal chest/foot ratio is approximately 0.9. [2]
