Lanarkshire Oximetry Index
ByDonna Sardina, RN, MHA,WCC, CWCMS, DWC
Purpose
The Lanarkshire oximetry index (LOI) is a noninvasive procedure using a
pulse oximeter for assessment of peripheral arterial perfusion to
determine if it is safe to apply venous compression bandaging.
Indications
Assess peripheral arterial perfusion when:
• there is evidence of calcified vessels (ankle brachial pressure index [ABPI] > 1.3)
• you have difficulty locating arteries with Doppler
• the patient has diabetes or lymphedema
• you work in a facility where you only need to perform one to two vascular
assessments a month.
