Tying surgical knots. Pick the false answer! (more than one correct answer is possible)
* In surgery, at least two half knots with opposite direction are considered to be a knot
* Fewer knots (3-4) for synthetic monofilament and more knots (5-6) for multifilament materials are needed for secure fastening
* Two handed , one handed and instrumental knotting may be performed
* Instrumental knotting is safer for ligating large vessels and bundle of tissues
Fewer knots (3-4) for synthetic monofilament and more knots (5-6) for multifilament materials are needed for secure fastening
The cranial border of the Diernhofer triangle is:
- The scapula
- The cranial part of the heart
- The descendent aorta

- The caudal part of the heart
Why can we boldly reduce preload in heart failure?
- Because reducing preload during heart failure does not lead to arrythmia
- Because in heart failure , reducing preload hardly reduces cardiac output
- Because the survival of heart failure animals is so short that we have nothing to fear
- Because the afterload will offset the reduction of the pre-load anyway
Because reducing preload during heart failure does not lead to arrythmia
