Q

physiology of erection

A
  • relaxation of vasoconstriction within cavernosal arteriole
  • blood flow increases into the corpora as resistance decreases (low)
  • increase in arterial inflow, decrease in venous outflow
  • blood is trapped, inflow and outflow temporarily ceases
  • tumescence occurs

22
Q
  • records a volume change in a limb or organ related to pulsatile arterial flows
  • overall volume of flow coming into the limb segment with each heart beat (difference between arterial inflow and venous outflow)
  • PVR waveform analysis is accomplished by a combination of QUALITATIVE and QUANTITATIVE assessment
A

pulse volume recordings (PVR)

23
Q

biggest limitation of PVR

A

cannot distinguish stenosis from total occlusion**

25
Q

concave is _______ while convex wavforms are _______

A

normal, abnormal

26
Q

-transducer, amplifier and strip-chart recorder (toes/fingers)
-detects cutaneous blood flow changes and records pulsations NOT volume
-not true plethysmography

sends infared light into the tissue w/light-emitting diode cutaneous blood flow is determined

A

PPG plethysmography

27
Q

toe cuffs at least ____ times that of the toe; usually _______ size

A
  1. 2

28
Q

anacrotic notch is consistent with …

A

33
Q

at the exit of a stenosis:
