Elevation of the limbs typically enhances comfort in patients with peripheral vascular disease complications.
False
True
In patients with peripheral vascular disease, particularly when ischemic complications occur such as in peripheral artery disease (PAD), limb elevation does not enhance comfort but rather exacerbates pain. This is because elevation decreases arterial blood flow to the limbs, aggravating ischemic conditions. Thus, patient discomfort actually increases. Patients often find relief when limbs are lowered, allowing gravity to aid in perfusion.
