  • Ankle Brachial Index - How to Assess the Ankle Brachial Pressure Index - Clinical Skills - Dr Gill
    When it comes to assessing peripheral arterial disease, or diabetic feet, the ABPI assessment is a core clinical skills
    In a nutshell, the ABPI allows you to determine if intermittent claudication is due to PAD, if you calculate a ratio of less than 0.9 of the ankle pressure divided by the pressure at the arm.
    This video demonstrates how to perform an Ankle Brachial Index test
    The test is performed with a simple handheld Doppler and a blood pressure cuff, taking measurements at the ankle and arm.

      Well to add to the exam, we often get a resting Ankle Brachial Index, and then have the patient exercise. (We usually have them do the first stage of Bruce protocol on a treadmill for 5 mins.) And then repeat getting and ABI to compare before and after exercise to see if there is a decrease in blood flow during exercise.

    Oh, what a great idea for a video! I’d be fascinated to see the difference between my blood pressure in my arms and my legs just because I walk so much at work (almost 50 miles/80.5 kilometers a week) and I usually have pretty good blood pressure in my arms to begin with (I’m all over the place but the average is roughly 112/76 from a bunch of my blood donation readings) but I have problems with my legs bending down/kneeling on the floor so I’d be curious if that impacted the results at all. Fascinating stuff!

    • @DrJamesGill
      @DrJamesGill  Před rokem

      The difference shouldn’t be too big, the legs should have a little higher BP than the legs, 😊

    Why this method and not an electric one. No criticism just wondering

    • @DrJamesGill
      @DrJamesGill  Před rokem

      As it is very important that students can use the manual BP. As a tool we need to be able to MAINTAIN the pressure above the systolic pulse in order to use the Doppler - which is not possible with most electric BP machines
