Influence of an Oscillating Bed on Cutaneous Temperature and Oxygen Tension of Ischemic Toes

CARLOS FORNO M.D.¹; HUGH MONTGOMERY M.D.¹; ORVILLE HORWITZ M.D.¹

¹ From the Vascular Section of the Edward Robinette Foundation, Medical Clinic, Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, Pa.

Measurements of temperature and oxygen tension of the skin demonstrated that treatment with an oscillating bed increases the circulation to ischemic toes. When the angle and duration of the dependent position of the foot of the bed were increased, further increments in circulation resulted.
