Resumo

São apresentadas, nessa separata, as principais orientações sobre a atenção às complicações do pé diabético. A neuropatia, com suas diversas apresentações que acometem os membros inferiores dos diabéticos, as lesões da doença arterial obstrutiva periférica (DAOP), as múltiplas apresentações da infecção do pé diabético, e, principalmente, os cuidados preventivos que possam impedir o estabelecimento ou a evolução dessas complicações são tratados de forma sistemática e simplificada, visando a atenção integral desses doentes. Especial cuidado é dado às orientações diferenciadas para os diversos níveis de atenção nos serviços públicos de saúde, porta de entrada virtual de 80% dos infelizes portadores dessa complicação. São aqui apresentados modelos de atenção e sugeridos protocolos que podem contribuir para a efetiva redução do número de amputações, internações e óbitos de diabéticos com complicações nos membros inferiores.

Palavras-chave
