Q

What is difficult to compress during duplex imaging?

A

clotted veins (pg 123)

arm veins such as innominate, subclavian, and proximal axillary due to proximity to the clavicle (pg 151)

At the level of the adductor canal, femoral vein difficult to compress due to depth of vessel and proximity of femur (pg 15)

The biceps femoris tendon may prevent compression of distal popliteal (pg 116)

21
Q

In the presents of incompetent valves, what does distal aug produce?

A

flow above the baseline

22
Q

Identify deep veins

A

deep arm veins: superior vena cava, innominate, subclavian, axillary, brachial, radial, and unlar

deep leg veins: IVC, CIV, IIV, EIV, common fem, femoral, deep femoral vein, pop vein, anterior tibials, posterior tibials, abd peroneal

23

A

PICC line, catheter

(powerpoint)

27
Q

Term for anatomical varient in lower extremity?

A

May-Thurner Syndrome pg 130

28
Q

Symptoms related to venous insufficiency

  • stasis dermatitis
  • ulceration
  • chronic limb swelling
  • pg 135
29
Q

Why is Doppler angle correction not necessary in venous imaging

A

There is no need to measure venous velocity

pg 131

30
Q

In what position should you preform venous imaging?

A

supine

steep reverse Trendelenburg or semi-Fowlers position

pg 112

31
Q

Lesser saphenous vein into what vein?

A

popliteal vein

pg 101

32
Q

Venous Doppler exam reveals above baseline flow demonstrates what?

A

venous reflux

33
Q

Chronic DVT

A

Implies thrombus is at least several months old

increased echogenicity

vein is contracted

may be so contracted that it may not be apparent on ultrasound

34
Q

DVT annual estimates

A

1 - 10 million cases of DVT

600,000 cases of pulmonary embolus

200,000 deaths from PE
