CVP Exam 2 Questions
Grade A+
characteristics of the arterial system - ANSWERSthicker walls, low CO2, higher pressure
where is atherosclerosis present - ANSWERSonly arterial side
where does a thrombus in the venous side go - ANSWERSthe heart
where does a thrombus on the arterial side go - ANSWERSfemoral, carotid, etc.
intima - ANSWERSsmooth, slick, nothing sticks to it. Endothelium- basement membrane
media - ANSWERSsmooth muscle layer, has external elastic membrane, bigger layer- able to
dilate, constrict, shift blood flow to where it's needed
adventitia - ANSWERSfibrous connective tissue
example of a dual system in circulation - ANSWERSvenous system
dual system in arterial flow - ANSWERSradial/ulnar loop, dorsalis pedis in hands and feet
thrombophlebitis - ANSWERSinflammation of vein w/ thrombus
, anatomy of venous system - ANSWERSless distinct layers, thinner walls, valves to prevent back
flow, muscle pumps. Superficial and deep veins (gathers from periphery and dumps into
perforating vein then deep vein).
what blood vessels do you use for CABG - ANSWERSveins
common sites of PAD - ANSWERScarotid, coronary, renal, abdominal aorta, iliac arteries, femoral
arteries (not UE)
sx of PAD - ANSWERSclaudication pain w/ activity, mostly felt w/ gastroc. Pain w/ elevation
how to provoke claudication pain - ANSWERSwalking on incline
what do you monitor for claudication - ANSWERSdistance to absolute pain, how long it takes to
recover, time until can't anymore
signs of claudication pain - ANSWERSskin color change (pillow), rubor of dependency, decreased
distal pulses, cool extremity, change in LE skin, hair loss, muscle wasting, gangrene
capillary filling test - ANSWERSpinch nail until it blanches, then release it- 3-25 secs of refilling
ABI - ANSWERSuse systole from DP, PT, both brachial, take higher of all
normal ranges for ABI - ANSWERSnormal is 1-1.4, .91-.99 is borderline, .71-.9, .4-.7 moderate,
0-.4 severe
why is it harder to get pulses on diabetics - ANSWERScalcified vessels take a lot of pressure to
squish to get systole
