PAD:
Give this one a try later!
, thickening of artery walls resulting in progressive narrowing of the arteries
of upper and lower extremities
(causes)
-atherosclerosis
-embolism
-thrombus
-trauma
(risk factors)
-smoking
-hyperlipidemia
-HTN
-DM
-women
(clinical manifestation)
- intermittent claudication
-paresthesia
-thin/ shiny/ taut skin
-loss of hair on lower legs
-diminished or absent pedal/popliteal/femoral pulses
-pallow of foot w/ leg elevation
-reactive hyperemia of foot with dependent position
-pain at rest ischemic pain
-pt relieves pain by dangling leg over side; sleep in chair
Aortic Aneurysm: bulge in the wall of the aorta
Give this one a try later!
*Abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) are higher in those who smoke
*conservative (less than 5.5 cm)
*Operative (greater than 5.5)
, Intestinal Obstruction:
Give this one a try later!
Occurs when intestinal contents can not pass through the GI tract; The
obstruction may occur in the small (SBO) or large (LBO) intestine
distal obstruction
Give this one a try later!
Rapid onset
-vomiting is less frequent
-colicky pain intermittently
-gradual constipation
-increased abdominal distention
EVAR: endovascular graft procedure
Give this one a try later!
minimally invasive; alternative; suture-less aortic graft into the abdominal
aorta
(complications)
-leakage into aneurysm through graft, growth above and/or below graft
site, dissection, renal artery occlusion
