Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) of the lower extremity is a common manifestation of atherosclerosis. It is present in up to 20% of older men and women, and estimated to affect more than 200 million people worldwide. The major risk factors for PAD are smoking, hypertension, and diabetes. PAD is an important problem in older adults due to its prevalence, its often-subtle symptoms, and its importance as a marker for widespread vascular disease. Patients with asymptomatic PAD are at greater risk for functional decline compared to those without PAD. Most importantly, identifying and treating PAD can improve an individual’s functional status and quality of life.

1. Establish airway. 2. Immobilize spine. 3. Monitor oxygenation and vital signs closely. 4. Insert indwelling urethral urinary catheter. 5. Record sensory and motor levels. 6. Determine weight and allergies. 7. Optional: Administer intravenous methylprednisolone protocol (if this follows the trauma center’s protocol). 8. Obtain radiograph of spine; consider advanced imaging of spine/ head. 9. Order lab work (complete blood count, electrolytes, blood alcohol, drug screen, blood gases). 10. Prevent skin compromise by padding bony prominences and repositioning the patient every two hours. 11. Consider placing a nasogastric tube for abdominal decompression. 12. Complete tertiary trauma survey and stabilize other fractures/ injuries. 13. Refer to specialty hospital for spinal cord injury treatment.
