Q

How do you do an ILP of the lower extremity?

A

connect cannula to the inflow and outflow lines of an extracorporeal bypass circuit. (prevents hypoxia, allows longer run time)

A tourniquet is applied around the root of the extremity

Q

Differences between ILI and ILP

A

ILI circulates blood in the isolated extremity at a much slower rate than ILP and for only 30 minutes.

During ILI, the extremity is hypoxic, which leads to marked acidosis.

ILI uses standard chemotherapy drugs and not TNF.
