“… and Elmahdy et al . , who showed that early administration of rh‐EPO protects against newborn hypoxic–ischemic encephalopathy.…”

Diagnosis of an Arterial Embolus in a Cold Right Foot by Bedside Sonography

“…While physical examination is usually enough to diagnose an ischemic limb, confirming the diagnosis and distinguishing between a thrombus and an embolus as a cause of occlusion is typically accomplished by arteriography. However, in the hands of a skilled sonographer, bedside sonography can be a rapid and effective means of directly visualizing the occlusion 4 . By using a high‐frequency transducer, the clinician should compare 2‐dimensional images as well as Doppler and color flow waveforms from the unaffected limb to the affected limb, where perfusion is diminished or absent.…”
