C. 1, 3, 4, 2, 5, 6
D. 1, 3, 2, 5, 4, 6 - CORRECT ANSWER - B. 1, 3, 2, 4, 6, 5
(Insertion of needle, placement of needle into lumen, insertion of guidewire, removal of needle,
passage of catheter, removal of guidewire)
What is the name of the technique commonly used to introduce a catheter into a vessel? -
CORRECT ANSWER - Seldinger technique
Define Seldinger technique - CORRECT ANSWER - A percutaneous technique that can
be used for arterial or venous access as well as access to other structures. This is also the name of
a needle.
What is the purpose of a Automatic Electromechanical Contrast Media Injector? - CORRECT
ANSWER - To provides a consistent delivery amount (bolus) of contrast media to the
patient
, Name 4 procedures that could utilize the seldinger technique - CORRECT ANSWER -
Nephrostomy, Cerebral angioplasty, Stent-graft placement, & Angioplasty
What is affected by: the viscosity of contrast, length and diameter of the catheter, and injection
pressure among others - CORRECT ANSWER - Flow rate
Name 4 differences between veins and arteries - CORRECT ANSWER - 1. Veins flow
under low pressure--arteries under high pressure
2. Veins carry DE-oxygenated blood to hear--arteries carry oxygenated blood from heart
3. Veins have thin, non-elastic walls--arteries are thick & elastic
4. Veins have valves--arteries do not
ALSO- arteries pulse, veins do not
Which vessel is the preferred site for arterial puncture for most angiography?
A. Femoral artery
B. Subclavian artery
C. Brachial artery
D. External iliac artery - CORRECT ANSWER - A. Femoral artery (because it's much
longer)
