Lower Limb Revascularisation or Amputation

There have been no previous CRQs or SAQs specifically on lower limb revascularisation or amputation.

It's conceivable anaesthesia for lower limb amputation could feature in a question on post-amputation pain, which has featured twice since 2017

Such questions would also fit with several curriculum requirements, such as 'explains the preoperative management of the patient with atherosclerotic disease'.

In the absence of a recent BJA Education editorial on these topics, it may be prudent to focus attention on other parts of the curriculum first
