QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS SURE A+
✔✔Cardiac situs solitus is: - ✔✔Normal cardiac position
✔✔For an intra cardiac shunt to be cyanotic it must: - ✔✔Shunt right to left
✔✔What normally causes the patient foramen ovale to close at birth? - ✔✔Higher LA
pressure
✔✔Surgery on a ventricular septal defect is generally considered only when: -
✔✔Qp/Qs exceeds 2:1
✔✔Deep thigh and calf veins are the sources for: - ✔✔Pulmonary emboli
✔✔Braided steel wires are woven into the walls of most guide catheters to improve
their: - ✔✔Torque control
✔✔According to Piosuille's law if the length of a catheter is doubled, how much should
the injection pressure be increased to get the same flow? - ✔✔Doubled
, ✔✔When doing angiographic flood injections with a 4 or 5fr. Catheters the injector
pressure should not exceed: - ✔✔1200 psi
✔✔After a diagnostic guide wire has been in the patients arteries for three minutes, it
should be: - ✔✔Withdrawn and wiped with heparinized gauze
✔✔Platinum is valuable in an angioplasty wire because of its: - ✔✔Radiopacity
✔✔You are attempting to gain femoral artery access. But, you missed the artery. When
your needle is situated just lateral to the right femoral artery, how will the needle hub
bounce with each pulse? - ✔✔Toward the artery-medially
✔✔An elderly man with history of frequent pericarditis and angina needs: - ✔✔Bilateral
heart cath and coronary arteriography
✔✔When considering a patient for PCI, a history of hypotension, hypokalemia, and
epilepsy are: - ✔✔Relative contraindications to left heart cath and angioplasty
✔✔Pallor, hypotension, tachycardia, and abdominal pain in a patient who is post cath
suggests: - ✔✔Retroperitoneal hematoma
✔✔A pulsatile encapsulated hematoma in communication with a ruptured artery defines
a: - ✔✔False aneurysm
✔✔Your 55Kg patient comes to the lab premedicated with 300mg clopidogrel(plavix) for
a PCI. The physician orders 2000 units of unfractionated heparin IV. To check for the
proper level of anticoagulation draw the first ACT: - ✔✔5 min after administration of
heparin
✔✔Which short acting sedative is contraindicated in patients with narrow angle
glaucoma? - ✔✔Midazolam or versed
✔✔After a radial PCI case when should you pull the sheath? - ✔✔At conclusion of the
case
✔✔When you attempt to pull the radial artery sheath it is tight in the vessel and painful
to move. What would not facilitate sheath removal? - ✔✔Injecting Nitroglycerin IV
✔✔In an attempt to establish atrial access, the Dr.'s first stick drew venous blood. In
order to enter the RFA, his next stick should be directed just _____ to the first. -
✔✔Lateral
