Q

Top half statement

A

The patient appears comfortable at rest, no peripheral stigmata of chronic disease. His fingers are….

He is not tachycardic with a regular rhythm, no radio radial delay

You have indicated his BP is (normatensive)

There is a full complement of supra-aortic pulses, with no bruits

I would also like to complte with examination by examining the pre-cordium

Q

Lower limbs

A

Inspect - feel the temperature in lower legs only

Femorals - feel together then for radiofemoral delay (coarctation)

Popliteal - if feel it may be aneurysm - do pulsatile and expansile

Pedal arteries

Listen for bruits - iliacs, CFA, adductor hiatus

Q

Why brick red i nBuergers Test

A

Ischaemia makes Co2 and lactic acid so get reactive vasodilatation

Q

How to present lower limbs

A

On exam there was no signs of scars or ulceration

no difference in temperature

pt had bilateral and equal fem pulses and no radio femoral delay

there were palpable popliteal pulses

No bruits on auscultation

Buergers tes was negative

I would like ABPIS on both sides

23
Q

Long saphernous vein

A

infront of medial malleolus

to behind the pubic tubercle

used in CABG or arterial graft in leg (fem pop)

vein left in situ (get pulse) or taken out and put somewhere else

24
Q

Claudication History

A

No pain at rest

cramping pain on certain distance - repeatable

Stop and gets better

ICE them

25
Q

Where is the stenosis

A

There will be symptoms, stenosis above the pain

26
Q

in claudication further test

A

Exercise treadmill ABPI (drops)

Duplex - two way doppler and US

Angiography

27
Q

What can claudication be confused with

A

nerve entrapment disc prolapse

spinal stenosis

look for sensory disturbances. Walking down stairs may be worse than up due to angle of back.

trauma

MSK

28
Q

If claudication

A

TREAT RF for CVS

29
Q

Critical ischamia

A

foot will die and drop off
-constant pain in distal worse on leg up

  • rest pain or tissue loss
  • ABPI less than 4mmHg
  • greater than two weeks
30
Q

Acute ischamia

A

6 Ps

31
Q

What are 6Ps

A

Painful
Pulselss
Perishingly Cold
Pale

para;lysis
Paraesthesia

32
Q

Casues of ischamia

A

Embolic (all 6Ps) from AF or valvular disease

33
Q

Treat embolus

A

Catheter

and

heparin after

then

  1. Fasciotomy to avoid compartment syndrome
  2. Reperfusion injury - K can cause Arrest
34
Q

Acute on chronic

A

acute with background claudication

thrombotic occlusion from atherosclerosis

4/6 P

Why? Over time collaterals have formed

35
Q

Presentation of Aneurysm?

A

incidentally in urology

Screening programme

Rupture

Compression - popliteal on vein causing DVT

back pain

ischaemia - embolies or thrombose
