The Wounds UK Best Practice Statement ‘Ankle brachial pressure index (ABPI) in practice’ emphasises the role and importance of ABPI, whilst addressing its challenges, along with sharing its successful implementation in practice. Each ‘Patient Expectation’ listed below indicates what the patient should expect when ABPI testing is being carried out, along with rationale, providing the patient with clear and concise information on why the process is being conducted, how it relates to the patient and why treatment is tailored to each individual so that accurate assessment can be achieved.
