VAS 201 - Test #4 || solved correctly.
What is a normal ABI ratio? correct answers > 0.90
ABI exceeding _____ would be pathological. What would this indicate? correct answers 1.3
- ABI readings above 1.3 would indicate harding of the eg arteries
(T/F) normally the BP in the legs are similar to the arms correct answers True
The fall in ankle systolic pressure after exercise is an indicator of what? correct answers Severity
of peripheral artery disease (PAD)
- The higher the fall in pressure, the more severe the PAD
What is the reactive hyperaemia test? correct answers An alternative test to ABI or treadmill for
patients with heart conditions or SOB
What is plethysmography? correct answers Pulse volume recording that measures blood flow
within the arteries
What is raynauds disease? correct answers Constriction of the small vessels in the fingers and
toes leading to discolouration
What is the importance of toe pressure studies? correct answers Useful to determine ulcer
healing potential in the diabetic foot
What does photoplethysmography measure? correct answers Efficiency of musculovenous calf
pump
, Why would we use a TBI index rather than an ABI for a patient with diabetes? correct answers
Hardening of leg arteries produce high ABI readings since the arteries require more pressure to
compress; therefore, TBI index is undertaken instead
TBI of ≥ 0.8 is associated with what? correct answers No significant PAD
TBI of ≥ 0.2-0.5 is associated with what? correct answers Claudication
TBI of < 0.2 is associated with what? correct answers Rest pain
- Ischemic arterial occlusive disease
At what level does the aorta pierce through the aortic hiatus? correct answers T12
When does the aorta bifurcate? correct answers L4
What kind of waveform does the aorta have above the renals? correct answers Monopasic
What kind of waveform does the aorta have below the renals? correct answers Triphasic
What kind of waveform will the iliac arteries have? correct answers High resistance waveform
Aorta measurement of > ___cm is associated with an aneurysm correct answers >3cm
Which renal artery arises slightly more superior than the other? correct answers The right renal
artery arises slightly more superior than the left renal artery
MPV normally measures < ____ mm correct answers < 13 mm
