The perfusion of tissue, especially the muscles of the lower limbs (LL), implies the blood flow that carries enough nutrition, energy materials and oxygen. The aim of this study was to determine whether the decreased Doppler sonography parameters, resistence index (RI), and pulsatility index (PI) were significant as indicatiors of irreversible ischemia of LL.
