IMPLEMENTING A QUALITY IMPROVEMENT FRAMEWORK FOR MAJOR AMPUTATION IN A SCOTTISH HEALTH BOARD (PATTERNS OF PERI-OPERATIVE MORTALITY AND AMPUTATION LEVEL)
Journal Title: International Journal of Surgery and Medicine - Year 2016, Vol 2, Issue 4
Abstract
We present a large contemporary series of patients presenting with unreconstructable critical limb ischaemia and requiring amputation. As well as being an insight into the challenges faced with the implementation of a quality improvement framework. We also feel the results will better inform the practising vascular surgeon and patients about the risks of limb loss in the 21st century.
