Final Evaluation

Video Clip 1 Question*
This image shows a guidewire in the preferred view during central line placement. This view is in the ____axis.
Video Clip 2 Question*
This image shows _____ between the liver and kidney in the hepatorenal space.
Video Clip 3 Question*
This clip shows sliding ____ lines, which if bilateral in the anterior lung fields are indicative of pulmonary edema.
Video Clip 4 Question*
Kissing ventricles in the parasternal _____ axis view indicates hypovolemia or acute hemorrhage. This axis is at the _____ muscle level, and is the preferred level to evaluate left ventricle function.
Video Clip Question 5*
Consolidated lung with mobile hyperechoic structures, or _________, are indicative of pneumonia.
1. Horizontal lines visualized due to the pleural line artifact (equidistant from the chest wall to the pleural line and then after the pleural line) are called:*
- A. H lines
- B. B lines
- C. A lines
- D. Lung lines
2. When evaluating pleural effusions, what structure is most important to identify?*
- A. Heart
- B. Pleural line
- C. Lung line
- D. Diaphragm
3. What findings on a consolidated lung indicate pneumonia may be the cause of the consolidation and not atelectasis?*
- A. Plankton sign
- B. Fibrin air stranding
- C. Dynamic air bronchograms
- D. Dynamic fluid flow
4. T or F: Absence of lung sliding means a chest tube must be placed for suspected pneumothorax*
- A. True
- B. False
5. T or F: An A/B profile suggests pulmonary edema on the side of the B findings*
- A. True
- B. False
6. Which of the following is not a typical cardiac view performed in transthoracic*
- A. Parasternal long
- B. Apical
- C. Subcostal
- D. Paraspinal
7. IVC variation is best used to predict:*
- A. Fluid responsiveness
- B. Pulmonary artery systolic pressure
- C. LV ejection fraction
- D. RV systolic pressure
8. What is the best view of evaluation of LV systolic function?*
- A. Parasternal short - Mitral valve level
- B. Parasternal short - Papillary muscle level
- C. Parasternal short - Apical level
- D. Parasternal long
9. From the parasternal long axis view, the parasternal short axis view is obtained by:*
- A. Clockwise rotation of 45 degrees
- B. Clockwise rotation of 90 degrees
- C. Counter-clockwise rotation of 90 degrees
- D. 180 degrees clockwise
10. What structure posterior to the heart pericardium is important to identify on the parasternal long axis view?*
- A. Right pleural effusion
- B. Left pleural line
- C. Left lung line
- D. Descending aorta
11. In the abdomen, what is the anatomical relationship between the aorta and the IVC?*
- A. Aorta is to the anatomical left of the IVC
- B. Aorta is to the anatomical right of the IVC
- C. The aorta is anterior to the IVC
12. Which of the following can not be used to distinguish between carotid artery and internal jugular vein*
- A. Jugular vein is typically more ovoid in shape
- B. The jugular vein is typically smaller than the carotid
- C. The vein is compressible whereas artery is not
13. Ultrasound use in post catheter placement is:*
- A. Can be used to evaluate pleural line for pneumothorax
- B. Line best seen in longitudinal view
- C. Not recommended
- D. Both A and B
14. ‘Dynamic’ approach for line insertion using ultrasound means:*
- A. The procedure is done blindly but after having localized the vein prior to procedure
- B. The procedure is done with ultrasound in the Doppler mode to see the dynamic blood flow
- C. The procedure is done with ultrasound after the blind approach fails
- D. The procedure is performed under direct guidance, with real time view of the needle
15. In a patient with a high clinical suspicion for DVT, a negative scan on your exam should:*
- A. Strongly suggest that be confirmed with a full duplex study performed by an expert
- B. Greatly reduces likelihood and full duplex does not need to be ordered even if the suspicion is high
- C. Should be repeated twice a day for 72 hours
- D. Should be repeated daily for 48 hours
16. Extended FAST includes what imaging to the focused assessment with sonography in trauma (FAST)*
- A. Pleural/Lung/Thoracic
