METHOD FOR EVALUATING THE RESERVE OF LIMB'S CIRCULATION Russian patent published in 2007 - IPC A61B6/00 A61K51/00 A61B5/01 

FIELD: medicine, functional diagnostics.

SUBSTANCE: one should introduce a radionuclide indicator to register the dynamics of its distribution in limbs' tissues due to scintigraphic method in the state of the rest and after loading testing. Moreover, loading test should be carried out due to placing limbs into thermostated membranes to heat for about 20-45 min at temperature that should not achieve the threshold of tissue lesion. Then it is necessary to detect the values of volumetric circulation and blood volume in affected limb to compare these values with those of contralateral limb. In case of decreased both values after loading test in affected limb against with the parameters of these values in contralateral one the state of circulation reserve should be evaluated as unfavourable. The innovation suggested widens the number of preparations for predicting the value of reserve possibilities of limb's circulation.

EFFECT: higher accuracy of evaluation.
