Q

What are the 3 categories of peripheral artery disease

A
  1. Intermittent Claudication: Symptoms occur only during physical activity
  2. Asymptomatic Disease: Asymptomatic because activity level never exceeds the threshold
  3. Limb-threatening Ischemia: Clinical syndrome, chronic, advance limb ischemia, rest pain, non-healing ulceration, gangrene

Q

What disease cause obstruction

A

Mainly atherosclerosis, but can be nonatherosclerotic:
1. Buerger disease: Blood vessels inflamed causing blockage (usually males over 45 who smoke)
2. Vasculitis: Blood vessel inflammation resulting in thickening and restricted blood flow to organs resulting in tissue damage
3. Fibromuscular dysplasia: Primarily affects females that causes stenosis, dissection, or aneurysm (impacts walls of arteries)

Q

What is artherosclerosis

A

IT is a chronic, slow, progressive disorder that causes plaque to accumulate resulting in loss of elasticity, stenosis, and and obstruction. The plaque can burst resulting in a thrombosis resulting in ischemia

28
Q

What are poikilothermia characteristics of a thrombus/embolus

A
29
Q

What is a fasciotomy and why are they performed

A

They are an incision to the skin used to relieve pressure

30
Q

What is a 4 compartment fasciotomy and what is the process to closing it

A

Incision made through skin and fascia (medial and lateral) to decrease pressure in the muscle compartment that is then left open until swelling decreases. Once swelling decrease can close one or both sides and if need and skin graft can be used to achieve closure

31
Q

What is acute compartment syndrome and why does it occur

A

Serious/emergent that is caused by increased intercompartment pressure which decreases perfusion pressure to tissues within that compartment. It occurs from fractures, crush injuries circumferential burn, electrical injuries, hematomas, revascularization procedures, cast, circular dressings.

32
Q

What is chronic venous insufficiency and its causes

A
33
Q

What are 6 symptoms of chronic venous insufficiency

A

Q

Compare and contrast arterial vs venous disorders in terms of clinical findings
