By locating and helping to assess the extent of vascular flow restrictions, they can noninvasively aid in the detection of clotting, stenosis, and mechanical damage to blood vessels. Clinical applications include the assessment of air embolism, atherosclerosis, postphlebitic syndrome, varicose veins, venous thrombosis, and the vascular states of partially severed extremities. Plethysmographs are typically used with blood pressure cuffs to detect perfusion and assess blood pressure or volume changes; this technique is sometimes used postoperatively to monitor the return of blood flow in the peripheral vessels following cardiovascular surgery.
