 * Comment:The conditions mentioned can cause ALI, but can cause other manifestations of ischemia, too. BakerStMD T&#124;C 03:34, 15 March 2015 (UTC)

Peer Review
Possibly you could expand more on the some of the sections, if it is possible. I just feel that there's no enough information in some of the sections to even be considered to have its own section.

In your introduction:
 * You write "prolonged delay can result in morbidity". "Prolonged" and "delay" are pretty much the same concept and sound confusing in this sentence. Also, I am unsure what you mean by this delay resulting in morbidity which usually refers to the incidence of the ischemia. You might instead say "neglect can lead to death, etc".
 * The last sentence in the second paragraph where you say "negative prognosis" and "with, within a year" sounds a little unclear. Maybe refer to the prognosis as "poor and leading to death within a year after diagnosis".

Under Origin:
 * I appreciated how you explained the greek origins of the word ischemia. Maybe you could actually define (medically) what ischemia is here.

Under Treatment:
 * How does pharmacological thrombolysis dissolve the clot? Explaining the mechanism might make sense and add more info since you explained the mechanism well for mechanical thrombolysis.

You may want to add some statistics (if possible) under the prognosis paragraph. This would help add some meat to that section. Also, you could explain what actually happens to the limb/body physiologically speaking when blood flow is cut off.

Let me know if you have any questions about my suggestions! LOTakara (talk) 20:20, 23 April 2012 (UTC)

There doesn’t seem to be a lot of information on what acute limb ischaemia actually is or what can cause it. I don’t believe that term origin is needed or should be its own section, if you want to talk about the term origin then state it within the introduction paragraph. Try to add more information about acute limb ischaemia and add other diseases /infections this could lead to. Look into adding a section on what will happen if this goes untreated. In the prognosis section add more information besides a sentence or two, if you can’t make it at least a paragraph then consider adding it to the diagnosis section, and come up with another section for this topic. After reading this I didn't get the sense that I knew everything there was to know about this. (MzCeci12 (talk) 20:44, 23 April 2012 (UTC))

This feels more like a draft to me than a cohesive article on the topic. I think the format that you used contributes to that. Some of the bullet points need expanding just for clarifications sake, especially in the variations in treatment section. The second sentence of the second paragraph is worded in a way that makes it hard to understand. The section on term origin doesn't contribute much to the understanding of the topic. Overall I think that it could use some more in depth info. The information that you have is quality information I just feel that there isn't enough of it.

From the introduction, you could move your additional ischemic conditions (and even the advanced stage CLI). To the related conditions section, you then have a brief description of these related conditions (since you have them linked). This wiki page is an interesting and informative subject.

I feel like you could get a little more in depth in some of your sections. Sometimes it just feels kind of short, abrupt, and choppy. (CNelson17 (talk) 18:30, 24 April 2012 (UTC))

Organization wise I think that was done well, but I'd suggest combining 'Prognosis' and 'Diagnosis' into one heading. I do agree that the article looks a little choppy and short like it's missing something more. The word occlusion does not have an article so there is nothing to attach the word to, so maybe remove the link on the word so it's not red. The treatment section was informative, I enjoyed that the article contained a number of treatment options as well. Fpliljeter02 (talk) 02:32, 25 April 2012 (UTC)

A few Suggestions: I really enjoyed your introduction and term origin section. The whole paper was easy for users to read and understand. In the introduction, you have a link to a page that doesn't exist. I think you guys might have just misspelled the word because "occulsion" is the page you want us to link to, but it is spelled "occlusion" later in the paper. The word "usually" was used in back-to-back sentences and it sounds a little redundant, so i think you should eliminate one of them.Underneath the introduction, I think you guys should add a heading titled "related ischemic conditions." That way you can have the same list and same explanation of Critical limb ischaemia, but it will be separate from the introduction. This will break up the page a little, and I think it will better this way. I also believe you guys have to add some more information to a few of the sections. The breakdown of the page is awesome, there are a lot of relevant sections, however, there isn't much to them. I think if you added a paragraph to each of sections it would give the reader a lot more. You could possibly eliminate a few of the sections (or leave as is) and focus your attention to two or three of them. (Brady Bonacquisti (talk) 22:45 24 April 2012 (UTC))

I feel like a lot of the information is before the content box. I think you should move most of this to be below the content. I said this on another groups project but I believe this should be your shortest section about a sentence. The bulk of your information should be found under the content box. I agree that this page does still feel like an outline, if you can try adding more to your page. (Shanna Ewoldt (talk) 6:22 25 April 2012 (UTC))

I feel like some of your sections are very intersting but they could just use some more details. One example of this is the surgury section. I feel like this is very interesting is there any more that could be added to this? Could you maybe add thing like the entire process, the time in which it takes to recover from this process, and can these people make a full recovery from this process. I think that there is alot of good information that could just use some more details but very good work so far! Jorygotham4 (talk) 01:20, 26 April 2012 (UTC)

Critical limb ischemia
Currently, CLI redirects here. ALI is a sub-condition of CLI. I propose that this page be moved to Critical limb ischemia, with a section on acute limb ischemia. BakerStMD T&#124;C 17:18, 13 January 2015 (UTC)
