Final Mock Exam Flashcards
T/F The purpose of the Valsalva’s maneuver is to test the efficiency of the valves
true
T/F This can lead to varicose veins due to the increased pressure in the superficial system
true
T/F Augmentation is used to force a bolus of blood quickly up the venous tree
true
T/F If augmentation response is good, this proves the lack of occlusive obstruction between the probe and the area of squeeze(calf)
true
If the augmentation response is not adequate such as a wrap around flow pattern, which of the following statements is/are true:
A-stop the test
B-try again, you may not have squeezed with enough force
C-ask a coworker to augment with both hands-the leg may be swollen or large
D-if the compressions were not adequate due to swelling, size etc and augmentation is poor, there may be a missed DVT
Choose from:
A &D
B&C&D
B
C
D
Continuous, non-phasic flow in the CFV when the compressions did not reveal a DVT, points to what diagnosis-
A-patient is not holding their breath
B-there is a missed DVT in the femoral vein
C-there is poor augmentation
D-there is likely a DVT in the ipsilateral iliac vein
there is likely a DVT in the ipsilateral iliac vein
If the Iliacs are not seen due to pt body habitus, gas etc, how would you expand the test?
describe
Examine the IVC below the liver for phasicity
Above the renal arteries
Low resistant with medium pulsatility
Infrarenal portion and iliacs
High resistant,higher pulsatility
T/F The distal aorta and iliacs may assume a low resistant flow pattern while exercising
true
fasting state flow pattern
high resistant flow with low diastolic aspect
post prandial state flow pattern
low resistant flow with high PSV and high diastolic flow
Renal flow is normally
a low resistnat pattern
The upper limits of normal PSV for the main renal artery is
under 180 cm/s
RI is calculated using which formula
PSV-EDV/PSV
What is the normal range for Renal RI?
0.4-0.7
What is the acceptable Renal artery to Aorta ratio:
under 3.5
T/F Intrarenal tardus parvus waveform indicates a hemodynamically significant MRA stenosis
true
