lüll Audit of introduction of hand-held Doppler and duplex ultrasound in the management of varicose veins Pleass HC; Holdsworth JDAnn R Coll Surg Engl 1996[Nov]; 78 (6): 494-6Hand-held Doppler (HHD) examination and duplex ultrasound scanning of patients with varicose veins are more accurate than clinical assessment alone. To assess how the introduction of HHD and the availability of duplex ultrasound scanning affects patient management, a retrospective review was carried out comparing the year before the introduction with the subsequent 2 years. Information was extracted from a computer database containing details of all new venous outpatients, their initial management and investigations and subsequent operations. HHD and duplex ultrasound resulted in a marked increase in secondary investigations (16% versus 41%) and fewer patients being listed directly for surgery (47% versus 29%). Operations on the long saphenous vein decreased from 84% to 76% whereas short saphenous surgery increased from 6% to 21% during this time.|*Medical Audit[MESH]|*Point-of-Care Systems[MESH]|England[MESH]|Humans[MESH]|Retrospective Studies[MESH]|Saphenous Vein/surgery[MESH]|Ultrasonography, Doppler, Duplex[MESH]|Ultrasonography, Doppler/*methods[MESH]|Varicose Veins/*diagnostic imaging/surgery[MESH] |
