109
Q

Where is Carotid A. Auscultated?

A

At Bifurcation of Carotid (C4)

110
Q

Describe Hepatojugular Reflux test and what is it for

A
  1. PT supine. Observe Jugular Vein in Neck. (Should be seen)
  2. Raise PT to 45 deg inclination. (Jugular V should Disappear)
  3. Compress Abdomen over Inf. Vena Cava and continue to observe Jugular Vein
  4. If Jugular V re-appears and stays visible then pos.
    Pos indicates CHF.
    Because Pressing on a major vein will increase Venous return to the heart and the heart has to work harder to pump this blood out. As the heart works harder the jugular vein will swell until the heart is able to compensate for the increased blood in the veins. If the JUgular vein does not disappear then this means that the heart is not able to pump this extra blood.
111
Q

CHF

A

Coronary Heart Failure

112
Q

  2. Ask if pain
  3. IF PAIN PT repeats w forward hip flexion
    Pain w Flex = Vascular Claudication
    Pain reduced w flex = Neurogenic Claudication (Because flexion reduces Canal Stenosis)
