• Nocturnal rest torment

• Fatigue/deadness in a furthest point Pt came in to ED for summed up shortcoming

• Pain – Patient reports LLE torment steady and harming

• Pallor

• Pulselessness Pt has missing pedal heartbeats

• Poikilothermia (briskness)

• Paralysis

• Poor hair development

• Parethesia(abnormal physical sensation-prickling, shivering, deadness)

• Poor recuperating of injuries or ulcers Pt has nonhealing twisted on L foot, prompted removal of second and third toe

Regular lab and symptomatic tests

• CBC ( to check for frailty r/t careful blood misfortune or post operation dying, platelet level for assessing for expanded thickening/draining affinity, expanded WBCs showing conceivable contamination – High WBC(19.7,14.8, 12.9)- contamination, Low RBC(3.22)infection, Low Hgb (32.9/25.9) iron deficiency, renal illness – Low Hct (32.9, 25.9) – pallor, renal ailment, intense blood misfortune

• BMP (liquid move or volume changes w/expanded utilization of IV liquids, kidney issue) – Elevated BUN(92/92/94) renal sickness r/t HF , High Cr (3.71,3.3,3.96) – HTN,high K (6.5) lactic acidosis

• Coagulation studies(evaluate expanded thickening/draining penchant)- Elevated PT (22.8, 20.5) and PTT(41.6)

• HgbA1C

• Liver compounds, CPK (assessing for reperfusion wounds) Elevated ALT, AST, Alk Phos, Osmo Calc, CPK r/t liver malady, CHF, intense MI

• Lactic corrosive (pay for metabolic acidosis) (high ; 4.7 on confirmation – lactic acidosis r/t CHF and COPD)

• Ankle-brachial file ( recognizes PAD of LE by evaluating weight of foot and brachial)

• Doppler waveforms( Assess for LE stenosis)

• Duplex US (sound waves to distinguish zones of stenosis in blood vessel vessels and defin
