Role of Arterial Doppler in Management of Diabetic Foot
Role of Arterial Doppler in Management of Diabetic Foot
Keywords:
Arterial Doppler, Diabetic footAbstract
Background: Diabetes is a worldwide problem. Diabetic foot patients required early diagnosis and proper management. So Arterial Doppler- its relevance and validity requires to be assesed in present modern era of advanced Non Invasive techniques. Aim: To assess the role of colour Doppler in management of diabetic foot. Methodology: The study is carried out on in patients admitted in municipal general hospitals of Ahmedabad .50 patients were observed and data were collected in the prescribed proforma consisting details of patient’s history ,clinical findings , laboratory and radiological investigation, arterial colour Doppler study, surgery details, complications and postoperative observation. Results: Observation and analysis of the data of present series was interesting and important aspects were compared with standard series. Peak Systolic Velocity ratio and Percentage of plaque formation in Colour Doppler of the diabetic patients are important parameters for determining the line of management , whether surgical intervention is required or not in particular individual. Conclusion: Doppler ultrasound being a non-invasive and easily repeatable procedure A normal Doppler study virtually rules out a haemodynamically significant lesion and helps to prevent unnecessary intervention.
