Summary

This document discusses different imaging planes for looking at the inferior vena cava (IVC) and aorta. It also describes the details required for performing transcranial Doppler (TCD) exam including required equipment and procedures. Methods to improve examinations and detect abnormalities related to collateral flow using the TCD are highlighted.

TCCD- Transcranial Color Uses 1.8 - 3.5 MHz phased array for B-mode, color, and Doppler images. Duplex Exam Offers ability for angle correction: PSV measured for diagnosis instead of TAMV. Transcranial Imaging (TQ) is another term for TCCD. Peak systolic velocity (PSV) can also be used for evaluation. Evaluates vertebrobasilar system, Gircle of Willis. bilateral ACA, PCA, MCA. siphon, vertebral, and single basilar vessels. - Detects collateral flow by evaluating flow direction and velocity in orbital/ ophthalmic artery, and basilar artery. Uses 5-10 mm Doppler sample size. Color Doppler setting: Flow toward probe as red, flow away as blue. increase frame rates for better 2D and color Doppler visualization. 2. 2.

Step Details Exam Room ~ Keep the roorn warm to limit vasoconstriction, Preparation ~ Cover the rest of the patient and the foot/hand to keep warm: Equipment Use a 10-15MiHz linear transducer: Cover the transducer with a nonsterile probe cover to prevent staining from the marker. Gol Usage Use limited get to allow easier skin marking. Marking the Skin ~ Use a permanent marker or carbot fuchsin tain (used in radiation therapy) to create the markings. ~ Keep the transducer pespendicular to the skin surtace with light pressure. Vein Appearance ~ Vein should appear circular in transverse wew and should fill the screen frorn right to left in sagittal view, - Avoid excessive transducer pressure. Mark Placement ~ Peace a small mark in front of the transducer. - Move the transducer slightly distally while marking every 2-3 on. - Use'a straw to make indents in the skin connecting them with ines using a permanent marker, Vein Diameter Write the diameter of the vein on the arm/leg at the location it was measured. Notation Lower Extremity Start at the groin at the saphenofemoral junction Specifics Continue to the ankle. ~ Mark all cutateous tributaries and perforating veins. Procedure Details Lower Extremity Begins at the groin at the saphenofemoral junction ~ Continued to the level of the ankle. Must mark all cutaneous tributaries. Must mark all perforating veins if the vein will be used as an in situ graft or an AV fistula. Astenial flow will move from the graft through the perforator into the deep venous system. Upper Extremity Begins at the axilla or shoulder, Evaluate the full length of the basilic or cephaic vein Use the same marking techniques and documentation procedures as for the GSV. 8. 11. 8. 11. the the diagnosis diagnosis of of AAA AAA is is made made once once the the aorta aorta B. 3.0 B. 3.0 cm cm AP or AP or width width dimension dimension exceeds exceeds _______ ◦© the the diagnosis diagnosis of of AAA is made AAA is made once once A. 2.5 A. 2.5 cm cm the aorta the aorta AP AP B. 3.0 B. 3.0 cm cm ◦o or or width width dimension dimension exceeds exceeds 3.0 3.0 cm C.3.5 C. cm 3.5 cm D. 4.0 cm D. 4.0 cm 9. 17. 9. 17. which of the which of the following describes aa positive following describes positive d. loss d. loss of of the the radial radial artery artery pulse pulse result from result from the the Adson Adson maneuver? maneuver? e the the Adson's Adson's maneuver maneuver isis patient patient position position A. increased hydrostatic pressure A. increased hydrostatic pressure used to used to evaulate evaulate thoracic thoracic outlet outlet syndrome syndrome B. pain B. pain inin the the foot foot with with quick quick dorsiflexion dorsiflexion ▪« ifif the the radial radial pulse pulse diinishes diinishes or or c. loss c. loss of of pedal pedal pulses pulses ▪= disappears disappears completely completely during during d. loss d. loss of of the the radial radial artery artery pulse pulse the maneuver, the maneuver, ▪= TOS TOS is is diagnosed diagnosed TOS Maneuvers Details 1, Resting neutral position Hand on lap 2.
