2. 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).

3. Peripheral vascular examination - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peripheral_vascular...

   Ankle-brachial pressure index (ABPI) assesses peripheral vascular disease. [1] It may however be unreliable in patients with calcified arteries in the calf (often diabetic patients) or those with extensive oedema, in which case toe pressure or Toe-brachial pressure index (TBPI) should be measured to aid in the diagnosis.

   Ankle-brachial pressure index, a measure of the fall in blood pressure in the arteries supplying the legs; Association of the British Pharmaceutical Industry, the trade association for companies in the UK producing prescription medicines

6. Arterial blood gas test - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arterial_blood_gas_test

   An arterial blood gas (ABG) test, or arterial blood gas analysis (ABGA) measures the amounts of arterial gases, such as oxygen and carbon dioxide. An ABG test requires that a small volume of blood be drawn from the radial artery with a syringe and a thin needle , [ 1 ] but sometimes the femoral artery in the groin or another site is used.

7. Ottawa ankle rules - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ottawa_ankle_rules

   Evidence supports the rules as an accurate instrument for excluding fractures of the ankle and mid-foot, reducing the number of unnecessary investigations and length of stay in emergency departments. [3] The original study reported that the test was 100% sensitive and reduced the number of ankle X-rays by 36%. [4]

8. Capillary refill - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capillary_refill

   A person demonstrates how to assess capillary refill time (CRT) on a dummy [1] Capillary refill test on index finger pulp. [2]Capillary refill time (CRT) is defined as the time taken for color to return to an external capillary bed after pressure is applied to cause blanching. [3]

9. Trendelenburg test - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trendelenburg_test

   The Trendelenburg Test or Brodie–Trendelenburg test is a test which can be carried out as part of a physical examination to determine the competency of the valves in the superficial and deep veins of the legs in patients with varicose veins.
