Quiz 9 Flashcards
M-mode directs pulses of a _____, linear bean of ultrasound into the tissues and displays the distance from the transducer of the returning echoes on the ______ of ta graph with signal strength indicated by brightness. The ______ of the graph shows time and motion of the structures is seen as curved lines
single
y axis
x axis
What is M-mode good for:
- precisely timing events within the cardiac cycle
- high temporal resolution (Lots of frames per second)
Velocities going toward the transducer are ____ the baseline of the y axis
above
Velocities going away from the transducer ____the baseline
below
On a color flow doppler what does the color red mean?
flow toward the transucer
On a color flow doppler what does the color blue mean?
Flow going away from a transducer
Some color flow doppler have a variance map that show green; which signifies?
Turbulence (Mosiac)
What are the indication for a TEE in the ASA/SCA guidelines?
- All open hearts
- All thoracic aortic surgical procedures
- Considered in coronary artery bypass graft surgeries
What are the indications for a TEE in the ACC/AHA guidelines?
- vavle repair surgery
- valve replacement surgery with a stentless -xenograft,
- homograft or auto valve
- valve surrgery for infective endocarditis
The ASE/SCA guidelines for performing a comprehensive intraoperative multiplane TEE examination are:
- 20 view
- All chambers
- All vavles
- Thoracic aorta
- Pulmonary Artery
Mid esophageal views are located where and consist of:
-TEE transducer posterior to the left atrium
(With multiplane TEE probe detailed examination of cardiac chambers and valves can be completed in most patients from this window alone)
TG view are located where and consist of:
- Transducer in stomach
- Image plane superior
- Images of the right and left ventricle can be seen
- Mitral valves
- Tricuspid Valves
Views to aligning the doppler beam parallel to flow through the left __________ outflow tract (LVOT) and aortic valve (AV) can be developed from the TG window.
ventricular
TG
Upper esophageal views are located where and consist of:
- transducer at the aortic arch level
- Can be seen in LAX and SAX
- Main pulmonary artery and pulmonary valve can be seen allowing alignment of the Doppler beam parallel to flow in these structures
Left ventricular is viewed at:
- ME two chamber
- ME four chamber
- ME LAX
- TG mid SAX
- TG two chamber views
