Abstract

Critical limb ischemia remains a therapeutic challenge and, despite best efforts from the surgical and interventional team, some of these patients will require major amputation. Despite advances in anaesthesia, surgical technique and critical care, there remains a significant 30-day mortality in this group. Recent quality improvement frameworks have sought to improve outcomes and we present our experience with general and regional anaesthesia in this cohort of patients.
