Artery narrowed
 - Pallor
II. SIGNS AND - Pain
- Paresthesia
SYMPTOMS - Paralysis
involves the "six Ps"
- Pulselessness
- Poikilothermia
II. SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS
- Pain is often localized and less severe when the limb
is in the dependent position.
- Ischemia prolongs, paresthesia replaces pain, and
the final stages of injury cause paralysis.
- Embolic occlusion tend to have an abrupt onset with
more severe symptoms
