- Title
SURGICAL MANAGEMENT OF PERIPHERAL VASCULAR TRAUMA IN A MUNICIPAL HOSPITAL.
- Authors
Dardik, Herbert; Dardik, Irving
- Abstract
Experience with a small but diversified group of patients with peripheral vascular injuries in a municipal hospital has reaffirmed the critical time factor between injury and definitive repair. Successful arterial reconstruction was uniformly obtained where repair was accomplished within ten hours of injury. All failures of primary vascular reconstruction had an elapsed time interval of fifteen or more hours. Attention is directed to the potential usefulness in vascular trauma of the Doppler ultrasound flowmeter. Auscultation and recordings of flow patterns enables reliable and repetitive assessment for therapeutic guidance.
