18
Q

Coarse crackles =?

A

Pulmonary oedema

19
Q

Ischaemic rubour?

A

19
Q

How to perform burgers test?

A
  1. with patient supine - stand at bottom of bed and raise both legs to 45 degrees for 1-2 mins
  2. Observe for colour change in limb - if pallor occurs note which angle this is (burgers angle)
  3. Sit the patient up and ask them to hang their legs down over the side of the bed
20

23
Q

What is atrophie blanche?

A
  • star-shaped ivory white depressed atrophic plaques with red dots within he scar
