Varicose veins
![Page 4: varicose vein](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022021415/5872b3eb1a28ab523c8b6103/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Introduction • Dilated, swelled leg veins
with back flow of blood caused by incompetent valve closure, which results in venous congestion and vein enlargement
• Usually affects the saphenous vein and its branches

Risk factor
• Genetics • Age • Gender • Pregnancy • Overweight and obesity • Posture
![Page 11: varicose vein](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022021415/5872b3eb1a28ab523c8b6103/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Causes
• Congenital absent or defective venous valves.
• Elevation of venous pressure • Incompetent venous valves• Chronic systemic disease • Infections and trauma

PathophysiologyAny risk factor/cause
↓↑ced venous pressure
↓Dilation of veins
↓Valves stretched
↓Incompetent valve
↓Reverse blood flow
↓Calf muscles fail to pump blood
↓Venous distention

Clinical manifestations• Enlarged veins that are visible on skin • Mild swelling of ankles and feet • Painful, achy, or “heavy” legs • Throbbing or cramping in legs • Itchy legs, especially in the lower leg and ankle• Discoloration of skin surrounding the varicose veins

Diagnostic Evaluation
• Appearance
![Page 15: varicose vein](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022021415/5872b3eb1a28ab523c8b6103/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Diagnostic Evaluation
• Appearance • Hand held Doppler examination
![Page 16: varicose vein](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022021415/5872b3eb1a28ab523c8b6103/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Diagnostic Evaluation
• Appearance • Hand held Doppler examination• Duplex Ultrasonography

Management Conservative management
- Elevation of the legs- Avoid prolonged sitting & standing - Compression stockings- Exercise - Lose weight

Management Cont……Sclerotherapy Sclerosant agent: sodium tetradecyl sulphate dose: 0.25 - 1ml at one site and maximum can be 4 ml at 4 different sites in superficial vein. Action: irritation to the intima of the vein wall, causes hardening of vein so that they no longer fill with blood. Blood that would normally return to the heart through these veins returns to the heart by way of other veins. The veins that received the injection will eventually shrivel and disappear. The scar tissue is absorbed by the body.

Management Cont……
• Vein stripping and ligation: This procedure involves tying off all varicose veins associated with the leg's main superficial vein and removing it from the leg. The removal of veins from the leg will not affect the blood circulation in the leg as deeper veins will be able to take care of the increased blood circulation

Management Cont……• Laser treatment: This procedure uses
no incisions or injections. Light energy from a laser is used to make the vein fade away. Laser surgery is typically used to treat smaller varicose veins.

Management Cont……• Endovenous ablation therapy: A tiny
incision is made in the skin & small catheter is inserted into the vein. A device at the tip of the catheter heats up inside the vein, which causes it to close off.

Nursing management • Altered tissue perfusion related to
chronic changes & postoperative inflammation
• Altered body comfort related to pain• Knowledge deficit related to disease
process and prevention.
