tibialpulses are from the same artery, so choose one or the other. These are easier to access when the blood pressure cu is applied to the leg.
Step2
Apply the cu rmly at the ankle just above the malleolus. Placing the cu above the ankle will elevate the pressure and the ABPI (Vowden and Vowden2018) (see Figure5.15). Ensure that the cu is the right size for the ankle circumference.
Step3
Examine the foot and apply contact gel. Continue as for the brachial pressure and record in the same way. Remember that the foot arteries are not parallel with the skin and sometimes the probe must be adjusted to have a clear signal. Repeat this step for at least two of the pedal pulses. If the pulse is irregular, a slow deation of the cu will help with accuracy.

Step4
Note the mmHg at the point of the sound returning (when the pulse becomes audible again). This is the absolute pressure and inclusion of this in the documentation is important, as it is an indicator of over­all perfusion to the limb.
Step5
Note down the sounds– these are as valuable as the ABPI measurement.
Triphasic signal – this is represented by three sounds together
very quickly and indicates that the arteries are working well and the artery has good elasticity. There are three parts to the wave­form that can be seen visually if the Doppler device has a display window or heard if the transmission is clear (Figure5.16).
Biphasic signal– this can be recognised as two sounds heard
together and indicates that the arteries are losing some of their elasticity, which may be due to the ageing process. There are only two parts to this waveform visually.
Monophasic signal– A single almost ‘banging’ sound indicates
the presence of advanced arterial disease and the artery will have little or no elasticity in the vessel.
Calculation andInterpretation ofthe Ankle Brachial Pressure Index
The ABPI for each leg is calculated separately by taking the highest reading of the foot pulse readings and dividing by the highest of the brachial readings:
The ABPI values are reported numerically, for example 0.82 or
1.30, which indicates to the assessing clinician that the patient had an arterial ow of oxygenated blood of approximately 82% or 130%. Compression therapy may be safely used in venous leg ulcer patients with an ABPI >0.8 (Table5.10).

A high ABPI may not always be indicative of peripheral vascular disease, but could be a false high from poor technique. A toe Doppler will be able to conrm the presence of arterial disease if calcication in the arteries has rendered them dicult to compress. Calcication does not usually aect the smaller vessels in the toes (Whayman2014). It is also useful to consider the absolute pressures as an indicator ofperfusion.

ABPI is a useful test to determine arterial suciency. It is important that healthcare professionals understand normal values so that abnormal values can be recognised.
Medical factors that may aect the patient’s ability to undergo ABPI assessment include:
DVT or suspected DVT.Cellulitis.Lymph node clearance.Amputation (the automated ABPI device has an amputation
function).
Surgery to arm/leg.Friable skin.Mental health–related issues.Dementia.

Neurological disease (this may aect the patient’s ability to
stay still).
Cancer- related treatment.
Remember that when undertaking ABPI assessment, practition­ers should always refer to their own local protocol, as there are local variances between clinical services.
RED FLAGS FORTHE URGENT TREATMENT OF PATIENTS WITHVENOUS LEG ULCERS
Infection of the leg or foot, identied by symptoms of increasing
pain, redness, oedema and local heat with purulent discharge.
Critical limb- threatening ischaemia.Suspected untreated DVT.Suspected skin malignancy.
REASSESSMENT ANDRECURRENCE
Leg ulcer assessment should be an ongoing process until the wound is healed. When the wound is healed, maintenance and prevention of recurrence are vital (Wounds UK 2016). The recurrence rate in venous leg ulcers is estimated to be as high as 50.4% within the rst 12 months (Finlayson et al. 2018). Doppler ABPI reassessment is essential every three months, or more frequently if changes in the lower limb are observed.
CONCLUSION
Good assessment and history taking are pivotal to decision- making, diagnosis, treatment and partnership working with patients with leg ulcers. Communication between healthcare professionals and patients is essential to gain trust, partnership and understanding. Consideration must be given to patients with any additional vision, hearing or literacy needs. It is essential for practitioners to have cultural competence and awareness to ensure that patients’ cultural needs and

beliefs are met. Assessment is not just something that happens at the beginning of treatment, it should be ongoing throughout. Identifying leg ulcer aetiology, causes and risk factors is essential to ensure that treatment options and strategies are appropriate and eective. Having an in-
depth understanding of the patient you are working with will
help you nd the most successful treatments.
