Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Acute arterial occlusion of the lower extremity occurs when blood supply from the lower limbs is abruptly cut off. Prompt evaluation and treatment are required to prevent irreversible damage. Differentiation between embolic and thrombotic sources is needed to initiate appropriate therapy. Although different types of occlusion require similar preoperative and postoperative considerations, the specific treatments vary. With a thorough understanding of the causes, signs and symptoms, treatment, and nursing management of acute arterial occlusion, the nurse can assist in the prevention of potentially severe complications. |
