Morrissey’s Cough Test - A Student Friendly Modification
Journal Title: INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF RECENT TRENDS IN SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY - Year 2014, Vol 10, Issue 3
Abstract
Morrissey’s cough test is poorly described in recent text books of surgery and the students have difficulty in recognizing the response to cough. Here we suggest a simple modification of the test which makes it easier for the student to recognize the retrograde flow in the saphenofemoral junction.
