(2022/2023)
1. 3 causes of venous thrombosis also called, Virchow's Triad(Answer)
Venous stasis, trauma/endothelial damage, hypercoagulability
2. Venous stasis(Answer) Slowed blood flow in veins. Caused by
immobility, myocardial infarction, CHF, hypotension, COPD, obesity,
pregnancy, previous DVT, extrinsic compression, SVC syndrome,
paraplegia, surgery associated conditions.
3. 2 types of Trauma/endothelial damage(Answer) Intrinsic and extrinsic
4. Intrinsic trauma is(Answer) Damage to the vessel wall from
intravenous drugs or a catheter. Increased use of PICC line results in
higher incidence of upper extremity thrombus, usually developing at
most proximal portion of PICC line.
5. Extrinsic trauma is(Answer) Damage caused by an accident, which
can occur at any site of the body.
6. Hypercoagulability is associated with(Answer) Pregnancy, cancer,
oral contracep- tives and/or hormone replacement therapy, inherited
states,e.g., factor V Leiden or protein C, protein S, or Antithrombin III
deficiency
7. Sensitivity, and
How to calculate?(Answer) -Ability of a test to detect disease, how many
tests are correctly called positive.
- # of true positives divided by # of all positive tests by gold standard,
or TP/TP+FN
8. Specificity, and how to calculate?(Answer) -Ability of a test to identify
normality, or how many results were correctly called negative.
- # of true negative divided by # of all negative tests by gold standard,
or TN/TN+FP
9. Positive predictive value, and how to calculate?(Answer) -percentage of
test results that accurately predict abnormality, or what % correctly
predicted disease.
- # of true positive test divided by # of all positive tests, or TP/TP+FP

, 10.Negative predictive value, and how to calculate?(Answer) -
percentage of test results that accurately predict normality, or what
% correctly predicted absence of disease.
- # of true negatives divided by # of all negative tests, or TN/TN+FN
11.Accuracy, and how to calculate?(Answer) - % of correct tests, or how
well does the test both detect and rule out disease.
- total # of correct tests divided by total # of all tests, or
TP+TN/TP+FP+FN+TN
12.Brachiocephalic/ Innominate vien formed from confluence of?
(Answer) Sub- clavien and Internal jugular vein
13.Vascular disease more common in women?(Answer) Takayasu's
arteritis-tennage to young women more common.
