The Pedra perfusion system will be used to assess changes in perfusion in response to physiological stimuli. It will be compared to other standard diagnostics.
The Pedra perfusion system measures microvascular flow through diffuse speckle contrast analysis. It will be used to assess changes in perfusion in response to a number of physiological stimuli. It will be compared to other standard diagnostics including ankle-brachial index, toe-brachial index and transcutaneous oxygen measurement. Measurements will be undertaken in non-vascular patients as well as those with chronic limb threatening ischaemia.

Diffuse speckle contrast analysis perfusion system
The Blood Perfusion Index (unitless number) delta in response to reduction in arterial inflow pressure
The range of change in the Blood Perfusion Index (unitless) in response to physiologic changes in arterial perfusion, in patients with healthy circulation and those with compromised arterial circulation
Time frame: Intra-procedure
Reliability of Blood Perfusion Index measurement will be assessed on repeated measures by determination of the correlation coefficient
The reliability of measurement of the Blood Perfusion Index will be measured and compared to standard diagnostics
Time frame: intra-procedure
Repeatability of Blood Perfusion Index measurement will be assessed on repeated measures by determination of the correlation coefficient
The repeatability of measurement of the Blood Perfusion Index will be measured and compared to standard diagnostics
Time frame: intra-procedure
Sensitivity of Pedra to detect differences in the Blood Perfusion Index between patient subsets
Use of a ROC curve to assess the ability of the Blood Perfusion Index to differentiate between those with healthy circulation and those with arterial disease
Time frame: Intra-procedure
