Clinical trials: Extremity Amputation
Diabetic Foot Ulcer, Lower Extremity Amputation
Comparison of Anesthetic Modalities on Hemodynamic Stability and Postoperative Pain in Diabetic Foot Patients Undergoing Minor Lower Extremity Amputation
Diabetic foot ulcer is the most common cause of non traumatic lower extremity amputations (LEA) associated with diabetes. Traditionally general and spinal anesthesia were the preferred modality of anesthesia.
