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

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

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
