1. What are the superficial veins of the arms?: cephalic and basilic
2. Where does the ulnar vein run?: pinky
3. Where does the radial vein run?: thumb
4. Where does the cephalic vein run?: thumb
5. What is the largest vein in the arms?: basilic
6. Cephalic and basilic vein communicate at what vein?: antecubital / median cubital vein
7. Site of venipuncture =: antecubital / median cubital vein
8. What are the concomitant veins in the arms?: radial and ulnar
9. If the basilic vein is on the left of the screen, what arm are you scanning?: left
10.protocol differences between upper and lower extremities: - thrombus in LE often caused by stasis, not in UE
- superficial veins affected more in UE than LE
- venous anatomy of UE is more variable than LE
11.What is the main cause from Virchow's Triad for lower DVT?: venous stasis
12.What is the main cause from Virchow's Triad for upper DVT?: vessel wall injury
13.signs and symptoms of DVT (UE):: unilateral arm/hand swelling, superficial palpable cord, erythema, pain and
tenderness, facial swelling, dilated chest wall collaterals
14.Signs and symptoms of DVT:: swelling, palpable cord, erythema, pain, tender- ness, dilated chest wall collaterals
15.Symptoms of PE:: CP, tachycardia, tachypnea, hemoptysis
16.What veins are commonly used for pacemaker wire introduction?: SUBC, IJV
17.What veins are commonly used for PICCs introduction?: Basilic, cephalic
18.Can pacemakers and PICCs cause thrombosis?: yes
19.Venous thrombosis associated with compression of SUBC at the thoracic outlet =: Paget-Schroetter syndrome
20.Paget-Schroetter syndrome AKA =: effort thrombosis
21.What patients does Paget-Schroetter syndrome usually affect?: young, ath- letic, muscular, male (YAMM)

22.Three things that can be compressed in the thoracic outlet in order =: -
nerve, vein, arterial
23.Why is there an increase in upper extremity DVT?: increased use in vessel wall injury
24. Why would there be DVT in the normal population (no catheters or pokes)?-
: Paget-Schroetter syndrome
