Module 5 Test Flashcards
(T/F) Chronic Venous Insufficiency (CVI) refers to an advanced stage of venous disease where the veins and muscle pump activity become incompetent.
T
Chronic Venous Insufficiency (CVI) is characterized by a(n) ___ venous pressure during walking.
increase in
(T/F) Chronic Venous Insufficiency (CVI) ulcers are the most common type of leg ulcer accounting for 70-90% of all ulcers in the lower extremities.
T
(T/F) Venous insufficiencies directly affect the lymphatic system by increasing the net filtrate.
T
(T/F) Post-Thrombotic Syndrome (PTS) is the most common cause of Chronic Venous Insufficiency (CVI).
T
(T/F) A thrombus is a solid mass that has a tendency to take over only half of the inner surface of the vein leaving some space for the blood to flow.
F; it blocks the vein
(T/F) A deep vein thrombosis can result in a pulmonary embolism and could be fatal.
T
With ambulation, the hydrostatic pressure of the veins changes to ___ mm/Hg.
100 mm/Hg
(T/F) TED hoses have more than 30mm/Hg and they will prevent swelling in patients with Chronic Venous Insufficiency (CVI).
F
(T/F) Patients with stage I of Chronic Venous Insufficiency (CVI) are considered to also have lymphedema.
F
(T/F) Rusty Leg Syndrome and hemosiderin stains are characteristics of stage II of Chronic Venous Insufficiency (CVI).
T
Lipedema is always ___ and ___ in appearance.
bilateral and symmetrical
(T/F) Many lipedema patients may develop edema later in the day due to the decrease of the transport capacity of the lymphatic system.
T
A quick non invasive test to check for risk of peripheral artery disease (PAD)
Ankle-Brachial Index (ABI)
This is a condition characterized by poor flow of venous blood, especially in the deep leg veins. Clinical leg swelling, pain, cramps and risk of deep vein thrombosis (DVT)
Chronic Venous Insufficiency (CVI)
This is a generalized term for disease of the blood vessels (arteries and veins) located outside the heart and the brain?
Peripheral Vascular Disease (PVD)
Under what conditions does a blood clot have a tendency to form?
Pregnancy
Inactivity
Hyper-coagulative states
Post surgical
It is usually absorbed by the body within 1-2 weeks
It is usually not life threatening because it does not have a direct pathway to the heart
It is a coagulation of blood and inflammation in the superficial veins
What is it?
thrombophlebitis
Adequate venous return to the heart will depend on all these factors?
An effective muscle pump
Competent valves in the veins
Suction of the heart (diastole)
Stage 0 of Chronic Venous Insufficiency (CVI) is characterized by
*May see varicosities at the end of the day Increase BCP Increase filtration Blood is pushed distally against valves May have no swelling
In Stage __ of CVI, Lymphatic system and venous system are both fatigued and there is a mechanical breakdown of both systems
Stage 2
Hemosiderin staining, wounds located at the medial aspect of the ankle with heavy exudates, often large wound bed with irregular margins are all characteristics of ___ wounds.
venous
Arterial wounds are less common than venous wounds and they account for ___ percentage of all the wounds in the lower extremities.
10% of wounds on the lower extremities are arterial
Lipedema is more common in who?
women
Lipedema without treatment may eventually progress to an insufficiency of the lymphatic system, producing a lipo-lymphedema. In order to prevent the onset of a lipo-lymphedema in these patients need ___.
Compression should be worn (especially in those individuals with edema later in the day)
