title: [Comparison of blood gas analysis and skin oximetry in phlebopathic dermatitis of the lower limbs].
abstract: A cutaneous oximetry and blood gas analysis study was performed on the return system from the dorsal aspect of the foot and the vein at the third median of the leg in 65 phlebopathic patients, using the cubital vein as a control site. The series (25 men and 40 women) comprised 32 cases of non-ulcerative lesions. The statistical analysis of results from the dorsal aspect of the foot in patients with ulcers showed an inverse correlation between transcutaneous O2 diffusion and the blood levels of O2, which was probably associated to AVA hyperstomy. In the vein at the third median of the leg, in both groups, the same inverse correlation was linked to chronic venous hypertension. Lastly, no correlation was observed between the two parameters of the dorsal aspect of the foot in non-ulcerative patients, probably because of the diverse influence of pathogenetic co-factors.
