| Variable: | DurationOfIschaemia | ||
| Description: | The duration of limb ischaemia was catagorised as 1) Less than one hour, 2) between one and three hours, 3) between three and six hours, and 4) greater than six hours. Damage to limb tissues may be a direct consequence of energy transfer during injury or through the effects of ischaemic necrosis. The level and extent of this tissue damage is directly related to the outcome of the limb in terms of viability. There is a direct correlation between the duration of ischaemia and the degree of tissue damage due to ischaemic necrosis. | ||
