Peripheral vascular diseases are being seen with increased frequency in the health care setting today. It is imperative that nurses have a clear understanding of arterial, venous, and lymphatic circulatory mechanisms as well as the pathophysiologic changes that accompany common diseases of these systems. Providing the ongoing assessment to obtain a diagnosis, establish the acute versus chronic nature of findings, monitor progression, plan care, and assess the response to treatment is an important role for the nurse in order to preserve function, life, and limb in these patients.
如今，在医疗环境中，周围血管疾病的发病率日益增高。护士必须清楚了解动脉、静脉和淋巴循环机制，以及这些系统常见疾病所伴随的病理生理变化。为了维持这些患者的功能、生命和肢体完整，护士的一项重要职责是持续进行评估，以做出诊断、确定检查结果的急性或慢性性质、监测病情进展、制定护理计划并评估治疗反应。
