Q

physiology of erection

A
  • relaxation of vasoconstriction within cavernosal arteriole
  • blood flow increases into the corpora as resistance decreases (low)
  • increase in arterial inflow, decrease in venous outflow
  • blood is trapped, inflow and outflow temporarily ceases
  • tumescence occurs

Q
  • records a volume change in a limb or organ related to pulsatile arterial flows
  • overall volume of flow coming into the limb segment with each heart beat (difference between arterial inflow and venous outflow)
  • PVR waveform analysis is accomplished by a combination of QUALITATIVE and QUANTITATIVE assessment
Study These Flashcards
A

pulse volume recordings (PVR)

23
Q

biggest limitation of PVR

Study These Flashcards
A

cannot distinguish stenosis from total occlusion**

24
Q

PVR troubleshooting

Study These Flashcards
A

*** AC mode, calibration is required, very sensitive to pt conditions (ie: tremors)

25
concave is _______ while convex wavforms are _______
normal, abnormal
26
-transducer, amplifier and strip-chart recorder (toes/fingers) -detects cutaneous blood flow changes and records pulsations NOT volume -not true plethysmography -in AC mode sends infared light into the tissue w/light-emitting diode cutaneous blood flow is determined
PPG plethysmography
27
toe cuffs at least ____ times that of the toe; usually _______ size
1. 2 | 2. 5-3 cm
28
anacrotic notch is consistent with ...
vasospasms and Raynaud's | amplitude of the waveform is greater in the fingers than in the toes
29
following cold immersion, abnormal cold sensitivity is likely if the amplitude fails to return to baseline levels within ______ min
5-10
30
_____ MHz transducer is used for UE
5-7
31
proximal to stenosis: velocities are usually _______
dampened
32
at the entrance, through, and end of stenosis:
increase in velocity with spectral broadening, flow becomes disorganized
33
at the exit of a stenosis:
post stenotic turbulence characterized by flow reversals, flow separation, vortices, and eddy currents
34
with pulsed doppler, _____ degrees is optimal angle | ______ is acceptable in peripheral studies and ______ degrees is not doppler shift
0, 45-60, 90
35
what should be evaluated in a dialysis access graft?
- inflow artery - arterial anastomosis*** - scan through the graft - observe for aneurysm, puncture sites, perigraft fluid - venous anatomsis** - outflow vein
36
low PSV obtained throughout the access graft could suggest
an arterial inflow problem
37
in dialysis access grafts, _________ and ________ are the most common site for stenosis
venous anastomosis, outflow vein***
38
in dialysis access grafts there is increased ________ in the vein. -intimal hyperplasia
arterial pressure
39
early graft failure is from
intimal hyperplasia
40
complications of dialysis grafts...
- intimal hyperplasia - increase of IVC and hepatic veins - pt develop anemia in lower extremities and CHF - 'steal syndrome' distal arterial flow is reversed causing pain, pallor, and coolness
41
a major pitfall of stenosis profile is ....
calcified vessels
42
aneurysm is present if the diameter of a vessel is _____% times greater than the adjacent, more proximal segment
50
43
Focal velocity greater than 100% suggests
a greater than or equal to 50% stenosis
44
a stenotic PSV ra of greater than 400 cm/sec suggests
greater than or equal to 75% stenosis
45
most common site for arteriovenous fistulae
CFA and CFV | -in-situ grafts most common complication
46
considered the gold standard for diagnosis of arterial stenosis
contrast arteriography
47
limitations of contrast arteriography
- fails to visualize outflow and inflow in very low-flow situations - delays prompt treatment - misses thrombosed popliteal aneurysms
48
used to vasodilate in extreme disease, not commonly used
sympathectomy
49
a catheter with rotational device cuts and pulverizes the plaque
atherectomy
50
- a balloon-tiped catheter is used to dilate the vessel by pushing the plaque against the vessel wall - used for focal lesions in large vessels such as iliac artery, femoral and popliteal artery
angioplasty
51
with renal transplants evaluate for increase kidney size and a RI of greater than _____ may suggest rejection
0.75
52
renal-aorta ratio less than ___ = less than 60% stenosis greater than ___ = greater than 60% stenosis
3.5, 3.5
53
synthetic grafts are used for ____ the knee | below the knee native veins are used (long term duration)
above
54
preoperative arterial mapping | -radial artery evaluate for:
- calcified wall - stenosis - diameter of vessel - measure peak systolic velocities proximal and distal
