OBJECTIVES• To develop an approach to peripheral vascular disease and wounds-
medical risk factor management, work up and referral to a Vascular Surgeon
• To ensure appropriate communication when transferring a critical ‘life or limb’ patient and ensure optimal treatment at base hospital before patient leaves to a vascular centre
• To understand the treatment options for limb salvage- the endovascular evolution, bypass, and the importance of amputation
• To improve understanding of post operative care and ensuring success in wound healing and limb salvage
• Review approach and treatment to the swollen limb
• To review venous disease management- classification of venous disease, venous ulcers, treatment options for varicose veins, and DVT

MANAGEMENTGeneral Measures
Pressure care
Bed position-leg down
Do not heat or cool limb
5000 iu heparin IV STAT
-Prevent propagation of proximal and distal thrombus
-Decrease risk of associated venous thrombosis
IV Fluids
Analgesia
Oxygen Therapy
Lab work (Blood): Renal profile, Coagulation, CBC
Diagnostics: CXR, ECG

EDEMA & COMPRESSION THERAPY IN CELLULITIS
1. Normal anti-Streptococcal properties of skin are inactivated by edema fluid
2. Compression therapy:• Removes protein-containing fluid from the
subcutaneous tissues• Increases blood flow to tissues • Increases antibiotic concentration in tissues

– Radiofrequency– Laser
• Foam Sclerotherapy• VenaSeal

CONSERVATIVE
• Compression stockings worn regularlyprevents long term adverse outcomes – swelling – ulceration– phlebitis
• Small spider/reticular veins → sclerotherapy
