Evaluation Explained
A vascular & oxygen evaluation is a diagnostic process designed to measure blood flow and oxygen supply to tissues, particularly in areas affected by wounds. This evaluation typically includes non-invasive methods like Doppler assessment to examine arterial and venous circulation. It also incorporates transcutaneous oxygen monitoring, which measures oxygen levels directly in the skin.
Initial Assessment
Initial Assessment
Your visit begins with a thorough review of your medical history and a physical examination of your wound. Our team will discuss your symptoms and any factors that may be impacting your healing process. This initial assessment helps us tailor the evaluation to your specific needs.
Doppler Blood Flow
Doppler Blood Flow
We will perform a Doppler assessment to evaluate blood flow in your arteries and veins. This non-invasive test uses sound waves to measure how blood moves through your vessels, helping to identify any blockages or circulatory issues. Understanding your vascular health is key to effective wound management.
Tissue Oxygen Levels
Tissue Oxygen Levels
Transcutaneous oxygen monitoring will be used to measure the oxygen partial pressure in your skin. This test helps determine if your tissues are receiving adequate oxygen for healing. The results provide critical information about the microcirculation surrounding your wound.
Personalized Plan
