Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.

Question
Answer
what is arthrocentesis   the aspiration of fluid from a joint  
🗑
symptomes of arthrocentesis are   fever of unknown origin, stiffness, limb lameness, leukocytosis, neutrophilia, malaise and anorexia  
🗑
aspiration of the joint is contraindicated in   patients with skin issues, trauma with hemorrhage from movement  
🗑
materials needed for arthrocentesis   sterile gloves, clippers, aseptic scrub, slides, syringes and needles  
🗑
common sites for arthrocentesis are   distal joints, including carpus, tarsus and stifle  
🗑
for aspiration of the carpus   hold the joint in flexion and use the medial radiocarpal joint to avoid cephalic vein  
🗑
aspiration of the tarsus   the jock is held in partial flexion at 90 degrees with the metatarsals and the tibia. the joint in approached medial or laterally  
🗑
the stifle joint is aspirated   in partially flexed during the procedure  
🗑
normal synovial fluid contains   a mixture of small and large mononuclear cells  
🗑
elevations ted to occur with   traumatized or degenerative joints, chronically inflamed joints and joints with osteochondrosis  
🗑
Polymorphonuclear Neutrophils PMN's   generally account for less than 10% of the nucleated cell count.  
🗑
more severly inflammed joints   will have a greater concentration of WBC's with a greater percentage of PMN's  
🗑
Common sites for bone marrow aspiration are   iliac wing, femur and humerus  
🗑
Bone marrow aspiration is performed to   evaluate the cells in the bone marrow  
🗑
Indications of bone marrow aspiration   patients with nonresponsive anemia, thrombocytopenia, neutropenia(w/o spesis), pancytopenia, leukemia, polycythemia and inappropriate RBC response, patients with lymphonma, multiple myeloma.  
🗑
contraindications of bone marrow aspiration are as follows   clotting factor abnormalities, severe thrombocytopenia  
🗑
Complications of bone marrow aspiration include   infection at the site of injection, damage to soft tissue structures, hematoma formation  
🗑
Materials needed to perform a bone marrow aspiration are   aspiration needle, scaple, steril gloves, 12 to 20 syringe, sterile drape, lidocaine, slides and collection tubes  
🗑
what factors determine the site used   age, size and conformation of the patient. Bone marrow of aged patients is less active in long bones than in flat bones  
🗑
Iliac aspiration involves   the patient in sternal or lateral recumbency  
🗑
bone marrow is usually more viscous than blood and contains   bony spicules, is a deeper red and contains fat globules  
🗑
Humeral aspiration   best site because of less tissue, fat and muscle overlying the bone  
🗑
what is the positioning of the aspiration of the humerus   the needle is placed perpendicular to the humeral shaft as the elbow is flexed. the shoulder is rotated externally  
🗑
femoral aspiration is the same as   aspiration from the ilium  
🗑
femoral aspiration is acheieved by   placing the patient is lateral recumbency, the needle is placed within the trochanteric fossa of the femur on the medial aspect of the greater trochanter of the proximal femur  
🗑
fine needle aspiration is   a quick procedure performed to acquire a sample of fluid or tissue cells from an accessible mass in the dermis, viscera or lymph node  
🗑
FNA aid in the differentiation of   inflammation and hyperplasia of the skin or other masses, neoplasia  
🗑
Complications of FNA include   minor hemotoma, tissue damage, and infection  
🗑
