Table 1-1-2 Ischemia.
Grade | ABI | AP (mmHg) | TP,TcPO2 (mmHg) |
---|---|---|---|
0 | ≧0.80 | >100 | ≧60 |
1 | 0.60–0.79 | 70–100 | 40–59 |
2 | 0.40–0.59 | 50–70 | 30–39 |
3 | ≦0.39 | <50 | <30 |
ABI: ankle brachial (pressure) index, AP: ankle pressure, PVR: pulse volume recording, SPP: skin perfusion pressure, TP: toe pressure, TcPO2: transcutaneous oximetry. Patients with diabetes should have TP measurements. If arterial calcification precludes reliable ABI or TP measurements, ischemia should be documented by TcPO2, SPP, PVR. If TP and ABI measurements result in different grades, TP will be the primary determinant of ischemia grade. Flat or minimally pulsatile forefoot PVR=grade 3.
