Question
Answer
PPG   documents venous insuffciency  
🗑
PPG   has a quantitate venous (not qual) this gives number  
🗑
screening procedure for detection of venous reflux   PPG  
🗑
Limitations of PPG   acute dvt (contra), improper placement (like on varicose veins wont get accurate), thickening of skin ( bec/ wont penetration), or non intact skin (cant use tape)  
🗑
PT positioning for PPG   pt has dangling legs and non weight bearing  
🗑
This measures volume changes   these are physical properties of PPG  
🗑
photo is not true plethysmography because   its not true wont measure volume just light reflection  
🗑
Photo is done where?   in microcirculation  
🗑
Photocell consitst of   light emitting diode and photo sensor  
🗑
diode trasmits infared light into subcut. Tissue, this is   reflected back to sensor  
🗑
Is light absorbed with photo pleth?   no it is reflected back  
🗑
what determines the reflection of the light in PPG   cutaneous blood flow how fast  
🗑
blood attenuates light in proportion to its   content in the tissue  
🗑
increased blood flow results in   decreased reflection (but this is displayed as an increase/positive deflection on the waveform bigger waveform)  
🗑
DC mode used for   venous (doppler). detects slower changes in blood content.  
🗑
AC mode used for   arterial. Detects fast changes in blood content  
🗑
calibration for PPG do not calibrate as with air pleth why?   need same size or gain throughout so show signif. volume difference  
🗑
tiny arterial pulsations   normal for tiny veins  
🗑
where put sensors   5  
🗑
What use with strip recorder   slow speed (5 mm/sec)  
🗑
stylus records on   heat sensitive paper  
🗑
what do you instruct pt to do at beginning of exam?   complete a series of exaggerated dorsiflexions to empty calf veins  
🗑
what do you do if pt can not do dorsi flexions?   manually compress calves bilaterally to ensure consistency  
🗑
Why continue to obtain tracing after flexions/compressions?   to record venous refill time/venous reactive time(VRT)  
🗑
if the VRT is <20 sec what do you do?   repeat the exam to eliminate influence of superficial system  
🗑
what is a normal VRT?   > or greater than 20 seconds without tourniquet  
🗑
Interpretation VRT is   quantitative  
🗑
for superficial incompetence in VRT is?   Less than 20 seconds w/o tourniquet but normalizes (>20) w/ tourniquet  
🗑
deep system incompetence in VRT is?   VRT of <20 sec. W/ and w/o tourniquet application  
🗑
Artifact due to pt movement   study technically impossible due duplex  
🗑
Absent deflections or gross irregular tracings?   ensure equipment is on DC mode and PPG settings  
🗑
Deflections off the scale or barely discernible?   adjust gain setting (only at first of test)  
🗑
Normal then?   normal VRT  
🗑
Short time VRT then repeat then normal means   superficial venous incompetence  
🗑
short time VRT then repeat then short means   deep venous incompetence  
🗑
