Key Clinical Message Poikilothermia is a fundamental symptom of acute limb ischemia ( ALI ) and is known as “6Ps”. Herein, we present the visualization of poikilothermia caused by ALI using handheld thermography. We believe that handheld thermography could be useful to assess poikilothermia objectively as a supplementary method to physical examination.
