Hello List:
I have a patient that has been in a vacuum system for some time. In the past few weeks when he is having his blood pressure taken they are noticing the BP is higher on the prosthetic side than on the other side. They also notice that the BP will change with the amount of vacuum he is using.
Has any body out there had this type of occurance reported to them from patients using a vacuum system?
