CCI RVS Review
Lateral resolution is related to - ANS -The spacing of reflectors perpendicular to the beam
When using Doppler ultrasound, what is proportional to the amount of absorption and
determines the depth of penetration? - ANS -Frequency of the transmitted ultrasound
If the frequency of the transducer increases, the wavelength - ANS -Decreases
Clinical manifestations of portal hypertension include (3) - ANS --splenomegaly
-encephalopathy
-Ascites
What symptoms suggest compromised circulation in the vertebrobasilar system? (3) - ANS
--drop attacks
-ataxia
-diplopia
Atherosclerosis and embolism are common causes of - ANS -Ischemic stroke
A low pitched bruit heard low on the right neck, radiating up to the# right carotid and out over
the supraclavicular fossa most likely represents a lesion in what artery - ANS -Brachiocephalic
aka Innominate artery (ps only one brachiocephalic artery and it's on the right side)
Post-thrombotic disease manifested by stasis dermatitis, ulceration, secondary varicose veins
and varying degrees of lower extremity edema are usually due to - ANS -Valvular insufficiency
Optimal patient positioning for evaluation of DVT in the lower extremities Is - ANS -Reverse
trendelenburg (heart above legs)
When using PPG to examine for GSV incompetence, the pt should be - ANS -Sitting upright
with a tourniquet applied just below the knee
A leg ulcer has an irregular edge, pink-red base, surrounding pigmentation and associated mild
pain is most likely due to - ANS -Venous stasis
What are the results of the valsalva maneuver - ANS -Decreased venous return to the heart
Patients who present with rest pain sometimes complain of increased pain while sleeping. This
is a result of - ANS -Lower cardiac output
