A

elevate legs to get blood flow back to heart

40
Q

PAD treated with heat (pad) or high temp

A

not good, decreased sensation may not feel burn

41
Q

exercise benefit

A

promote blood flow, no activity: blood pool at calf

42
Q

PAD diagnostics

A

doppler ultrasound, ABI, duplex ultrasound imaging (duplex, 2 sound waves used Doppler and B-form)

43
Q

ABI calculation

A

ankle systolic BP/^ L or R brachial systolic pressure

44
Q

ABI range (ratio of BP at ankle vs BP at arm)

A

less than 1.0 indicate occlusion in lower extremity

45
Q

BP ankle vs brachial normal

A

ankle typically higher (gravity/pressure) than arm

46
Q

PAD/atherosclerosis risk factor modifications

A

stop smoking, lower BP, treat hyperlipidemia, diabetics A1C less 7

47
Q

A1C also known as

A

glycosylated hemoglobin; blood glucose attached to hgb over past 3 months

48
Q

intermittent claudication management

A

walking 30-60 min/day, 3x week

49
Q

PAD nutritional therapy

A

BMI less 25, waist size less 40 in. men, diet

50
Q

PAD pharmacologic therapy (lower BP, vasodilation)

A

ACE inhibitors Ramipril (Altace)

51
Q

ACE inhibitors Ramipril (Altace) action

A

block convert angiotensin I to II; no vasoconstriction

52
Q

PAD pharmacologic therapy - antiplatelet agents

A

aspirin, Clopidogrel (Plavix), prevent thromboemboli

53
Q

PAD pharmacologic therapy - intermittent claudication

A

Cilostazol (Pletal) no food; Pentoxifylline (Trental) food

54
Q

PAD non surgical treatment

A

Percutaneous Transluminal Angioplasty (PTA)

55
Q

Percutaneous Transluminal Angioplasty source

A

youtube nucleus medical media central georgia heart

56
Q

Arterial blockage/narrowing

A

stenosis

57
Q

wire mesh in artery to keep open

A

stent

58
Q

Percutaneous Transluminal Angioplasty Pre Op care

A

NPO, groin/femoral site shave, IV access 18/20 gauge

59
Q

Percutaneous Transluminal Angioplasty Post Op care

A

bleeding at insertion site, VS, pulse, antiplatelet med

60
Q

Percutaneous Transluminal Angioplasty with stenting process

A

stent hold artery open, balloon push plaque thru

61
Q

remove plaque by cutting or grinding, especially PVD or PAD

A

Atherectomy incision femoral artery, catheter just like PTA and PCTA but useful if vessel can’t handle stent

62
Q

PAD surgery procedure called

A

Peripheral Artery Bypass; bypass blood around lesion

bypass graft: 2 options

autogenous vein (from self) or synthetic graft

65
Q

arterial bypass post op

A

24-48 hr ICU, arterial line for continuous BP, Foley

66
Q

increased pressure in body area after period of low pressure

A

compartment syndrome internal bleeding or swelling after acute trauma

67
Q

PAD surgery (1. artery bypass surgery, 2. )

A

amputation; elevate stump on 1 thin pillow

68
Q

phantom limb pain

A

feel sensations or pain in limb not there

69
Q

vasospasm/constriction of small arteries in extremities

A

Raynaud’s Phenomenon

70
Q

Raynaud’s Phenomenon characteristics

A

young female, response to cold or stress

71
Q

arteriole constriction color stages

A

white/pallor: low perfusion, blue: cyanosis, red: blood returns

72
Q

recurring inflammation arteries and veins, caps

A

Buerger’s; lead to thrombus formation, autoimmune

73
Q

Buerger’s characteristics

A

younger men, smokers, clots at tips of fingers/toes

74
Q

ankle-brachial index low level indicates

A

peripheral arterial blockage, normal about 1.0, 1.2 good

75
Q

peripheral artery disease 3 types medications

A
  1. Antihypertensive/vasodilator ACE Inhibitor
  2. Antiplatelet agents prevent formation of thromboemboli b/c narrow arteries vulnerable
  3. Intermittent Claudication treatment Cilostazol and Pentoxifylline
76
Q

all percutaneous angioplasty preop care includes

A

NPO

77
Q

critical limb ischemia revascularization or bypass surgery post op care

A 
24-48 hour ICU or step-down unit stay
arterial line for continuous BP measurement
titrate med to maintain BP
foley
neurovascular assessment
78
Q

PTA vs PCTA

A

percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) non surgical procedure to repair or unblock artery; PCTA unblock/repair coronary artery

79
Q

percutaneous transluminal angioplasty: 2 types

A

cardiac (PCTA percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty) and non-cardiac (PTA percutaneous transluminal angioplasty)

80
Q

PTA vs PCTA similarities

A

same process just an artery (PTA) vs coronary artery (PCTA); local anesthesia, enter via femoral artery, use catheter

81
Q

atherosclerosis vs stenosis

A

atherosclerosis is narrowing of arteries due to plaque, stenosis also narrowing but may or may not be from atherosclerosis

82
Q

gold standard for PAD diagnostics
