Which size transducer is best at visualizing the brachiocephalic veins due to the bony structures surrounding? (Large/Small footprint) | Small Footprint |
Which vein is visualized both above and below the clavicle bone? | Subclavian Vein |
What vein connects to the cephalic and basilica veins? | Median Cubital Vein |
Which vein terminates at the junction of the cephalic and subclavian veins? | Axillary Vein |
To follow this vein, one must being in the upper arm midportion and locate the level where this terminates into the axillary vein: | Basilic Vein |
Compression of these two veins is generally not performed due to the vessel positioning | Brachiocephalic and Subclavian Veins |
Which two veins should be imaged if the patient's symptoms suggest thrombus? | Radial and Ulnar Veins |
Having this in the arm can lead to the development of a thrombus within the upper extremity venous system | Catheter |
Name some of the possible treatment options for an upper extremity venous thrombosis | Anticoagulation, catheter removal, thrombolytic therapy, surgical decompression of the thoracic inlet with/without venous reconstruction |
At or near the antecubital fossa, this communicates with the median cubital vein | Cephalic Vein |
What is an inward projection of the intimal layer of a vein wall producing two semilunar leaflets that present the retrograde movement of blood flow | Valve |
T or F: Superficial veins are more affected in the arms than in the legs | True |
T or F: The venous anatomy in the upper extremities is less variable than in the lower extremity veins | False- More variable |
