Technique

Question 1

place cuff _______ on extremity site, not encircling any bone

Answer 1

straight

Question 2

should it be snug

Answer 2

yes

Question 3

ideally the cuff bladder should be placed

Answer 3

over the artery

Question 4

the bladder inflation should transmit pressure quickly into the tissue to

Answer 4

compress the artery

Question 5

width of cuff should be about _____% greater than diameter of limb

Answer 5

20

Question 6

four cuff method

Answer 6

brachial
high thigh
above the knee
below the knee
ankle

Question 7

four cuff method size

Answer 7

12 x 40 cm with longer cuff bladders for thighs

Question 8

three cuff method

Answer 8

brachial
one thigh cuff
below the knee
ankle

Question 9

three cuff method size

Answer 9

12 x 40 cm, with exception of thigh cuff

Question 10

difference between 4 cuff and 3

4 cuff

Answer 10

provide prox and distal pressure measurement but artifactually elevated BP are obtained at the HT ( > 30 mmHg than highest brachial)

Question 11

difference between 4 cuff and 3

3 cuff

Answer 11

utilized one large thigh cuff (high on the thigh), providing a more accurate pressure reading

Question 12

probe?

Answer 12

8 to 10 mhz

Question 13

angle CW doppler

Answer 13

45-60

Question 14

due to vessel angulation, probe angle behind the knee may be closer to ___ degree to skin

Answer 14

90

Question 15

angle probe so blood flow moves

Answer 15

antegrade

Question 16

using a hand held _______, segmental doppler pressures are obtained in

Answer 16

sphygomomanometer or an automatic cuff inflator

Question 17

Order of segmental pressures

Answer 17

brachial- use brachial a
ankle - use pta and dpa; peroneal if necessary
calf -PTA or DPA: that had the hight pressure
above the knee- same as calf may need to use popliteal a
high thigh- same as above knee
if one large thigh cuff used, protocol same as for calf

Question 18

when doing segmental pressures, Start at the ankle and move prox to eliminate

Answer 18

the possible underestimation of the systolic pressure measurement

Question 19

use the site from higher of two pedal doppler pressure to obtain the remainder of the segmental pressure in

Answer 19

leg beginning with the calf level

Question 20

complete cessation of blood flow is

Answer 20

required

Question 21

cuff inflated 20-30 mmHg beyond

Answer 21

last audible doppler arterial signal

Question 22

inflate the cuff 20-30 mmHg higher than

Answer 22

highest brachial pressure

Question 23

if pressure measurements must be repeated, the cuff should be fully deflated for about ____ prior to repeat inflatoin

Answer 23

minute

Question 24

the systolic pressure is recorded as that pressure at which the

Answer 24

first audible doppler arterial signal returns
