clinical corell PAD Flashcards

1
Q

signs and symptoms of peripheral arterial disease (PAD

A

HPI:
Claudication
Cramping and pain in legs with walking a certain distance
Diabetics may have leg fatigue instead of pain
Rest pain
Cramping in legs with elevated, relieved with dependent position
“black” ulcers or toes
Chronic ulcers that don’t heal
Painful ulcer despite neuropathy

Q

Metabolic risk factors diabeties

A

Hyperinsulinemia or hyperglycemia (2 hour PP after 100 gm oral dose > 200)
Hypertriglyceridemia (> 150) and low HDL (130/85)
Obesity: waist line > 40 inches in males, > 35 inches in females (waist alone will diagnose 80% of patients with metabolic syndrome)
Every increase of 1% of HgA1c, risk factor for PAD goes up 28%

Q

PAD risk facotrs continued…PSH, SH, FH, ROS

A

PSH
Coronary artery stent placement or lower extremity stent placement
SH
Tobacco use

Q

Where palpate pulse during PE?

A

Palpate dorsalis pedis (tween 1st n second metatarsals) and posterior tibial (just behind medial maleoulus) pulses
If not palpable
may palpate popliteal and/or femoral pulses
Doppler DP, PT and perforating peroneal

Q

Doppler ultrasound

A

Ultrasound waves travel from probe to vessels – bounce off of blood cells back to probe
Pitch – function of how fast blood cells moving – faster the cells move the higher the pitch
Loudness – function of how many blood cells the waves hit – the more cells hit the louder the sound

Normal triphasic doppler ultra sound waves
Bidirectional Rapid upstroke/ downstroke Flow reversal Arterial wall rebound

Monophasic doppler wave
Rounding of unstroke/downstroke Decreased peak height Absent flow reversal Absent elastic rebound

Transcutaneous Oxygen Pressure
Measures partial oxygen tension on skin surface Temp 45 degrees Celsius TcPo2 = arterial Po2
31

PAD treat revascularization guidelines
Endovascular therapies Stenosis at all levels Short segment occlusions in Iliac or SFA Surgical bypass Long segment occlusions Surgical endarterectomy Occlusion or high grade stenosis at common femoral bifurcation Help to preserve SFA and profunda femoral artery

In grown toe nail warning!!!!
Beware of ingrown toenail procedures on patients without palpable pulse Patient may develop gangrene as result of procedure and lose the toe as a result
