Midazolam (Versed)
Which of the following is the most commonly used drug for sedation during cardiac Cath?
Angioseal
Which vascular closure device has a suture that is self-tightening?
Inferior LV wall
Which of the following segments of the left ventricle would most likely be affected by a significant stenosis of the RCA? image intensifier (II)
The device that converts X-rays into visible light is the:
LAO Cranial
________ exposes the operator standing on the patient's right side to the highest dose of radiation.
In the antecubital area on the inner side of the arm
The cephalic vein is located:
Orbital and directional
Which atherectomy catheters shave and sand away plaque?
Anterior/Posterior
Prior to deploying a vascular closure device in the femoral artery, which angiographic view should be used to visualize the femoral artery bifurcation?
Large a wave in the LA
Which of the following hemodynamic abnormalities would be observed with mitral stenosis?
acute MR (e.g., ruptured chordae tendineae)
Large V-waves in the pulmonary capillary wedge pressure (PCWP) waveform traditionally indicate:
severe mitral regurgitation (MR)
V-waves greater than twice the mean pulmonary capillary wedge pressures are suggestive of:
Arch of aorta, internal carotid, external carotid
Where are baroreceptors located?
True
True/False- A wire is needed for both placement and removal of the Impella?
