  2. Allen's test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allen's_test

    Ulnar pressure is released while radial pressure is maintained, and the colour should return within 5 to 15 seconds. If color returns as described, Allen's test is considered to be normal. If color fails to return, the test is considered abnormal and it suggests that the ulnar artery supply to the hand is not sufficient.

  3. Segmental blood pressure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Segmental_blood_pressure

    Segmental blood pressure is used to measure actual limb blood pressure, to assess and locate arterial occlusion. On the legs, pressure is measured at the ankle, below the knee, above the knee, and mid-thigh. On the arm, measurements are taken at the wrist, below the elbow, above the elbow, and mid-upper arm. [1]

  4. Ankle–brachial pressure index - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ankle–brachial_pressure...

    The ankle-brachial pressure index (ABPI) or ankle-brachial index (ABI) is the ratio of the blood pressure at the ankle to the blood pressure in the upper arm (brachium). Compared to the arm, lower blood pressure in the leg suggests blocked arteries due to peripheral artery disease (PAD).

  5. Blood pressure measurement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood_pressure_measurement

    A minimum systolic value can be roughly estimated by palpation, most often used in emergency situations, but should be used with caution. [10] It has been estimated that, using 50% percentiles, carotid, femoral and radial pulses are present in patients with a systolic blood pressure > 70 mmHg, carotid and femoral pulses alone in patients with systolic blood pressure of > 50 mmHg, and only a ...

  6. Tourniquet test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tourniquet_test

    A blood pressure cuff is applied and inflated to the midpoint between the systolic and diastolic blood pressures for five minutes. The test is positive if there are more than 10 to 20 petechiae per square inch. [1] [2]

  7. Blood pressure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood_pressure

    Aortic pressure, also called central aortic blood pressure, or central blood pressure, is the blood pressure at the root of the aorta. Elevated aortic pressure has been found to be a more accurate predictor of both cardiovascular events and mortality, as well as structural changes in the heart, than has peripheral blood pressure (such as ...

  8. Trousseau sign of latent tetany - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trousseau_sign_of_latent...

    [3] [4] This sign may also be observed as a symptom of hyperventilation syndrome as a result of hypocapnia-induced reduction of calcium levels in the blood. [ 5 ] To elicit the sign, a blood pressure cuff is placed around the arm and inflated to a pressure greater than the systolic blood pressure and held in place for 3 minutes.

  9. Early warning system (medical) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Early_warning_system_(medical)

    In the UK, the Royal College of Physicians developed the National Early Warning Score (NEWS) in 2012 to replace local or regional scores. [16] [17] [18] The NEWS score is the largest national EWS effort to date and has been adopted by some international healthcare services. [1] A second version of the score was introduced in 2017.
