Phlebotensiogram

Phlebotensiogram is a method for studying the state of the venous system by recording a curve of venous pressure versus time.

When performing a phlebotensiogram, a sensor connected to a recording device is applied to the skin in the projection of the vein being studied. The vein above the sensor is then compressed, followed by rapid release. In this case, fluctuations in venous pressure are recorded, reflecting the state of the venous wall and valve apparatus.

Phlebotensiogram analysis allows us to identify disturbances in venous outflow, varicose veins, deep vein thrombosis and other venous pathologies.

Thus, phleboteniogram is an informative non-invasive method for diagnosing venous diseases, widely used in vascular surgery and phlebology.

Phlebotonometry is a modern examination of the vascular system of the lower extremities, used to determine the diameters and speed of blood flow in the veins. Such a study allows you to quickly check a person’s health status. It is important to remember that phlebotonometry and the usual tone of the deep vessels of the lower extremities are measured with the same instruments. In this case, the capillaries of the lower extremities are used as actively as possible to fill them with blood.

Venous pressure and pulse in the legs are checked manually or using special equipment. There are three types of this study: using a tourniquet, according to Coccus, or using a tetraphone - a cuff and an electronic device. The method using a tourniquet causes active exchange, but there is a chance of damage to the capillaries due to compression of the tourniquet. According to Kock, it enjoys maximum popularity due to its high efficiency,
