HOW TO DETECT FOOT LEG vascular occlusion?
FOOT LEG TENSION INDEX
BROTHER
ANKLE BRACHIAL INDEX: FOOT LEG INDEX
It is the ratio of blood pressure measured in the leg and foot. It is a method used to show stenosis in the arteries in the leg veins. It is known as the English Ankle Brachial Index (ABI). It is measured in the outpatient clinic. Results are obtained in a short time.
- Arm blood pressure is higher than ankle blood pressure. As the diameter of the vessel decreases, the blood pressure also decreases.
- The ratio of two blood pressures is used to detect atherosclerosis in the legs.
- ABI normal value is between 1-0-1.4.
- Between 0.9 and 1.0 is also acceptable.
- 0-8-0.9: baseline is evaluated for leg vein occlusion.
- 0.5-0.8: Indicates moderate vascular occlusion.
- A value of less than 0.5 means serious illness. At this point, the patient has a risk of gangrene and loss of limb.
- The patient is evaluated and directed to ultrasonography and then to angiography.
