Abstract

Abstract: Venous and arterial insufficiency are two common etiologies of lower extremity ulceration that present with different risk factors, symptoms, and characteristics. Diagnostic and management principles are based on accurate assessment, which mandates knowledge of the underlying disease processes and the complex interplay of contributing factors. Early diagnosis, initiation of basic management principles, and referral are paramount to improving key patient- and systems-related outcomes. NPs, especially in the primary care setting, are uniquely positioned for early recognition of these diseases, which can have a significant impact on morbidity, mortality, and quality of life for patients with venous or arterial insufficiency ulcerations.

下肢溃疡:鉴别动脉与静脉溃疡的表现、诊断与处理。
摘要:静脉和动脉功能不全是下肢溃疡的两种常见病因,但存在不同的危险因素、症状和特征。诊断和管理原则以准确的评估为基础,这要求了解潜在的疾病过程和促成因素的复杂相互作用。早期诊断、启动基本管理原则和转诊对于改善患者和系统相关的关键结果至关重要。NPs,特别是在初级保健机构中,在早期识别这些疾病方面具有独特的地位,这可能对静脉或动脉功能不全溃疡患者的发病率、死亡率和生活质量产生重大影响。
