Upper Extremities Vascular Testing

Upper extremity vascular testing evaluates blood flow in the arms and hands. These tests are crucial for diagnosing arterial and venous disorders, monitoring post-surgical outcomes, and ensuring optimal limb perfusion in a variety of clinical scenarios.

What is Upper Extremity Testing?

Upper extremity testing encompasses a range of non-invasive procedures to assess circulation in the arms, forearms, and hands. These tests help detect blockages, evaluate vascular health, and guide treatment for conditions affecting the upper limbs.

  • Non-invasive and comfortable for patients
  • Includes segmental pressures, Doppler, and PPG
  • Essential for comprehensive vascular assessment
How Does It Work?

Blood pressure cuffs, Doppler probes, and PPG sensors are used to measure blood flow and pressure at various points along the upper limbs. The data collected provides a detailed view of vascular health and helps identify areas of concern.

  • Segmental pressure measurements at arm, forearm, and hand
  • Doppler and PPG waveforms for flow analysis
  • Automated data capture and reporting
Clinical Value

Upper extremity vascular testing is invaluable for:

  • Diagnosing arterial and venous disorders
  • Monitoring post-surgical outcomes
  • Guiding treatment for vascular conditions
  • Supporting early intervention and improved patient outcomes

These tests are recommended in clinical guidelines for comprehensive vascular assessment and are a mainstay in vascular labs.
