venous disease? Flashcards
1
Q
s/s of venous disease? (8)
A
Heaviness Aching Pain Swelling Varicose veins Spider veins Skin color changes Ulcers
2
Q
risk factors? (7)
A
- family history
- obesity
- pregnancy
- standing or sitting for long period of time
- previous DVT
- injury
- surgery
3
Q
Grayscale can idenitfy what? (7)
A
Anatomic information Structural abnormalities Identifies any internal echoes in the lumen of the vessel Thickened walls Webbing Diameter Presence of tributaries
4
Q
colour doppler can identify what?
A
- absence/presence of flow
- direction of flow
- colour fill
5
Q
spectral doppler can identify?
A
- measurement of duration of reflux
- velocity
6
Q
treatment for deep veins?
A
- compression stocking
- leg elevation
7
Q
treatment for superficial veins?
A
- encovenous laser treatment. radiofrequency ablation
- venaseal
- sclerotherepy
- ambulatory phlebectomy
8
Q
U/S Guided – Endovenous Laser / Radiofrequency Ablation?
A
- uses heat to close vein under u/s guidence
- identifies feluxing vein
- confirms access into vessel
- navigates the ablation fiber through correct vessel
- aides in placement of tumescent anesthetic around vein
- determines safe distance from deep veins
9
Q
u/s guided venaseal?
A
- uses medical adhesive to close vein under u/s guidence
- identifies vessel
- confirms access into vessel
- determines safe distance from deep veins
- provides guidence and compression as adhesice is administered
10
Q
u/s guided sclerotherapy?
A
- medical grade solution is injected into vein causing vein to spasm and close over time
- isolates bein of intrest
- confirms sclerosant administration into vein
11
Q
post procedure u/s? (5)
A
Determine the success of the closure Thrombus extension into the deep veins Locate the presence of open tributaries Neovascularity Monitors mild cases of reflux in other vessels
