Q

Adventitia

A

CT layer that has nerve fibers in it that allows for changes and sensory to the vessels but meds that affect BP to allow for the lowering of BP or vice versa

Q

What is the lymphatic system?

A

Extensive vascular network that drains lymph from body tissues and returns to venous circulation
they collect fluid, plasma protein, and cellular debris
Ultimately drain into neck

Q

What causes edema?

A

Increased plasma volume due to extra sodium. Filtration changes, increased capillary permeability which causes fluid to leave intravascular spaces and go extravascular into the soft tissues

Q

Chronic venous insufficiency

A

Overtime ulcers occur from skin breakdown. This is a venous problem where you have chronic venous obstruction, venous obstruction that doesn’t allow blood to return to the heart.

Q

Lymphedema

A

No pitting, thicker skin, still swollen foot where the highest point of edema is soft/doughy there’s no pigmentation changes usually occurs b/l in feet and ankles and because it is a high protein disorder its an accumulation of interstitial fluids with high concentration of proteins

What is peripheral artery disease

A

Atherosclerotic disease distal to aortic bifurcation
Marker for CV morbidity and mortality
Risk of death from MI and stroke 3x with PAD

20
Q

Only 10% of patients with pain or swelling in extremity have pain relieved with _________

A

rest

21
Q

30-50% of patients with pain or swelling in extremity have ___________

A

atypical leg pain

22
Q

60% of patients with pain/swelling in extremity are ____________. They may have ____________ impairment.

A

asymptomatic, functional

23
Q

What are risk factors for PAD?

A

Age > 50
Smoking
DM
HTN
Elevated cholesterol
AA ancestry
CAD

24
Q

PAD warning signs/risks

A
  1. fatigue, aching, numbness or pain that limits walking or exertion in the legs
  2. ED
  3. poor healing/nonhealing of wounds in legs and feet
  4. pain present at rest in LE
  5. pain after meals and associated food fear and wt loss
  6. 1st degree relative with abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA)
25
Q

If pain is relieved by sitting, bending forward or B/L buttock pain it is likely a __________ pathology

A

spinal

26
Q

With Abd, back and flank pain there is

A

food fear:
weight loss
dark stool

27
Q

Venous Thromboembolism

A

very common
Most have unilateral or asymptomatic swelling of extremity
Is there arm pain/discomfort, paresthesias, weakness
Pain or swelling of the calf
Use Wells Criteria and/or Geneva Score

28
Q

What is a 2+ pulse

A

brisk, expected, NORMAL

29
Q

Epitrochlear Nodes are ____ palpable in healthy individuals

A

NOT and if they are, they are associated with HIV, lymphadenopathy and lymphoma

30
Q

What is the absence of the dorsalis pedis pulse a significant risk of if absent with normal Fem/Pop pulses

A

PAD

31
Q

Poikilothermia

A

Assess temperature of feet/legs with back of hands/fingers

32
Q

What is an ABI and what is the normal value

A

Looking to asses ratio of arterial flow comparing UE TO LE
normal is 0.90- 1.40

33
Q

Allen test

A

Palmar arches
Patency of Radial and Ulnar Arteries
1. Make a tight fist
2. Compress radial and ulnar artery simultaneously
3. Open hand in relaxed, slightly flexed position
Palm will be pale
4. Release pressure over ulnar artery- if patent—flushes within 3-5 seconds
5. Repeat with leaving ulnar artery occluded and opening radial aspect.

34
Q

Pitting edema scale

A

1+ Barely palpable
2+ Slight indentation; 15s rebound
3+ Deeper indentation; 30 seconds
4+ > 30 seconds to rebound

35
Q

What are risks for PVD

A

Age>65
Risk Factors- Cardiac risks
DM, Tobacco, Hyperlipidemia, HTN
Known atherosclerosis from another area of the body

36
Q

What is the screening for PVD?

A

Major Risk for M&M
ABI
< 0.90 abnormal
Much debate over screening tools.

37

AAA is defined as infrarenal aortic > _____cm

A

3

38

A

Risk Factors
Older Age
Male
Smoking
Family Hx
Hx of vascular abnormalities
Height
CAD/ CVD
Atherosclerosis

39
Q

Who do you want to screen for AAA

A

Screen asymptomatic men from age 65-75 who have smoked > 100 cigarettes in a lifetime.
Grade B Evidence

40

What is chronic venous insufficiency ?

A

Medial and sometimes lateral malleolus
Ulcer contains small painful granulation tissue
Exposed tendons rare

What is arterial insufficiency?

A

Occurs in toes, feet, shins
Surrounding area no callus
Severe pain
Gangrene is possible
Decreased pulses, foot pallor on elevation, rubor on dependency

42
Q

What is chronic arterial insufficiency?

A

Intermittent claudication(pain w walking), gangrene

43
Q

What is Chronic Venous Insufficiency ?

A

doesn’t affect arteries, temp changes not normal usually will see persistent edea and pigmentation changes.

44
Q

What is a nephrotic ulcer?

A

Pressure points under decreased sensation
Surrounding skin calloused
No pain-> Unnoticed
