| | | Armand Trousseau Bio | |
Blurb: Armand Trousseau was a notable French internist who first described the Trousseau sign. The Trousseau sign is an indicator of hypocalcaemia. To induce the sign, a patient's arm is compressed with a blood pressure cuff at 300 mmHg for three minutes. During that time, if the patient's hand undergoes painful carpal spasm then hypocalcaemia should be suspected. Trousseau also described Trousseau's Syndrome. | |
