  • increase or decrease > 50 cm/s compared to prior
  • MPV low flow <30 cm/s
28

A

ascedning aorta > 5 cm

IMH > 2 cm

pericardial effusion

31
Q

IMH strongest predictor of progression to dissection?

A

max aortic diameter > 5cm

32
Q

ideal TIPS pressure gradient

A

< 12 mm Hg

reduced to between 6-8 mm Hg if the indication is intractable ascites

33
Q

serum half life of tPA

A

5 minutes

the drug concentration will fall to a negligible level after about 5 half lives which is after about 25 min

34
Q

after how much time will the serum concentration of tPA fall to a negligible (<5%) level?

A

the drug concentration will fall to a negligible level after about 5 half lives which is after about 25 min

35
Q

after 25 min tPA will be at what serum level?

A

the drug concentration will fall to a negligible level (<5%) after about 5 half lives which is after about 25 min

36
Q

What is the typical wire diameter used to fit trhough a 21 Ga needle?

A

0.018”

37

A

0.5 mL/min

38
Q

lowest hemorrhage rate for detection of a GI bleed on Tc-99m scan

A

0.04 mL/min

ten times more sensitive than angiography

drawback to Tc-99m is not precise anatomic localization

L1-L2 disc space

45
Q

The IMA arises at what vertebral body level?

A

L2-L3 disc space

46
Q

A bleeding rate of _________________ is generally required to be angiographically positive.

A

A bleeding rate of 0.5 to 1.0 mL/min is generally required to be angiographically positive.

47
Q

A tagged red blood cell scan can detect bleeding rate of ________________.

A

0.2 to 0.4 mL/min.

48
Q

Vasopressin can only be used for _________ before tachyphylaxis (lack of further response) develops

A

24 hours

49
Q

A

Vasopressin is directly infused into the SMA or IMA.

The dose of vasopressin is 0.2–0.4 units per minute (100 units mixed in 500 mL saline given at 1 mL/minute), given as a continuous infusion for up to 24 hours.
