Evaluating optimal superficial limb perfusion at different angles using non-invasive micro-lightguide spectrophotometry.
BACKGROUND: It is common practice to elevate the limbs postoperatively to reduce oedema and hence optimise perfusion and facilitate rehabilitation. However, elevation may be counterproductive as it reduces the mean perfusion pressure. There are no clear data on the optimal position of the limbs eve...
