Diagnosis

Diagnosis for Ischemic ulcers may involve several steps and tests to determine the underlying cause and severity of the condition. These may include:
E
Medical history: The healthcare provider will review the patient’s medical history, including any existing conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure, or peripheral artery disease.
E
Physical examination: A thorough examination of the affected area is conducted to assess the size, depth, and appearance of the ulcer.
E
Doppler ultrasound: This non-invasive test measures blood flow and can help identify any blockages or narrowing of the arteries.
E
Ankle-brachial index (ABI) test: This test compares the blood pressure in the ankle with the blood pressure in the arm to assess blood flow to the limbs.
E
Blood tests: Blood tests may be performed to check for conditions such as diabetes and high cholesterol, which can contribute to ischemic ulcers.
E
Imaging tests: These may include CT scans, MRI, or angiography to visualize the blood vessels and identify any blockages or narrowing.
E
Tissue biopsy: A small sample of tissue from the ulcer may be taken for analysis to rule out other potential causes.
E
Arterial duplex scanning: This test uses ultrasound to evaluate blood flow and detect any abnormalities in the arteries.

Treatments

Ischemic ulcers are caused by poor blood circulation, leading to tissue damage. Early treatment is crucial to prevent complications and promote healing. Prompt intervention can prevent tissue necrosis and reduce the risk of infection.

In our Wound Healing Program, we use hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) to treat ischemic ulcers. HBOT enhances oxygen supply, expediting healing and reducing infection risks. Complemented by targeted exercises, lifestyle management, and nutritional guidance, our approach ensures comprehensive care, promoting optimal outcomes in the treatment of ischemic ulcers.
