Term 8 of 166
When performing post-occlusive reactive hyperemia, pressure measurements in the lower
extremity are obtained:
cuffs should be placed straight around the limb, rather than angled to the curve of the limb
immediately after cuff release and every 30 seconds until pressures return to baseline
levels
ulnar artery stenosis or occlusion
cover the pt's hand with a towel or sheet

abnormal skin sensation, such as numbness or tingling
Paresthesia is defined as
Pulse volume reading (PVR)

2mph at 12% grade
higher, proximal
<25cm/s, <60mmHg
Term 11 of 166
A pt is undergoing balloon angioplasty of the left CFA. The physician just completed the first
expansion of the balloon and asks you to check the flow with doppler. Where is the preferred
location to evaluate flow?
DPA and PTA
at the anastomosis sites
PTA and DPA
CFV and CFA
Term 12 of 166
When preparing for a pt with suspected TOS, what other information should you review for
pertinent information ?
decreased resistance in the proximal subclavian artery on the affected side with arm
abduction
(usually it's an increase)
Chest x-ray which could demonstrate the cervical rib that is a common cause for TOS
There is no vascular disease in the legs, but these is most likely a subclavian steal present
for up to 5 mins, for up to 5 mins
