Accompaning vein

Answer 3

external iliac vein

Question 3

Major artery in the thigh region and 2nd most raised vessel

Answer 3

Femoral Artery

Question 4

Liner Guide:
On the surface of the thigh
from the center of the inguinal (femoral) ligament
to a center point on the medial condyle (round bony prominenance ) of the femur (thigh bone).
Goes obliquely at an angle

Answer 4

Femoral Artery (hip to knee)

Question 5

Listed most lateral to most medial just below inguinal ligament:

Most media vessels of femoral triangle is termination of great saphagus vein
Most lateral structure is femoral nerve
Most lateral vessel is femoral artery

Answer 5

At Mid thigh artery/vein rotate as enter deep mid thigh level (further down thigh the greater risk of puncturing the vein which is located directly behind artery

Question 6

Anatomical Guide:  
Through the center of the femoral triangle 
laterally by the sartorius muscle and 
medially by the adductor longus muscle
Superior by the inquinal ligament (base)

Answer 6

Femoral Artery (hip to knee)

Question 7

where sartorius intersect adductor longus

Answer 7

Apex

Question 8

Anatomical Limits:
Begins at a point posterior to the center of the inguinal ligament
Terminates at the opening of the adductor magnus muscle

Answer 8

Femoral Artery (hip to knee)

Question 9

Place of Incision:

Along any portion of the superior two-thirds (2/3) of the linear guide. Just inferior to inquinal ligament

Answer 9

Femoral Artery (hip to knee)

Question 10

Considerations/advantages of femoral artery:
Large in size.
Lower portion of body can be embalmed without concern of distention of the face.
Drainage may be difficult to establish and maintain
Poor Equal distribution of fluid to the head.

Answer 10

Precautions:
Vessels are deep seated in obese cases.
Drainage is sometimes difficult to establish and maintain.

Answer 11

Femoral vein -single deep
