How do you test for carotid artery blockage?
To check your carotid arteries, your doctor will listen to them with a stethoscope. He or she will listen for a whooshing sound called a bruit. This sound may indicate changed or reduced blood flow due to plaque buildup. To find out more, your doctor may recommend tests.Diagnostic TestsThe following tests are common for diagnosing carotid artery disease. If you have symptoms of a mini-stroke or stroke, your doctor may use other tests as well. Carotid UltrasoundCarotid ultrasound (also called sonography) is the most common test for diagnosing carotid artery disease. It's a painless, harmless test that uses sound waves to create pictures of the insides of your carotid arteries. This test can show whether plaque has narrowed your carotid arteries and how narrow they are. A standard carotid ultrasound shows the structure of your carotid arteries. A Doppler carotid ultrasound shows how blood moves through your carotid arteries.Carotid AngiographyCarotid angiography (an-jee-OG-ra-fee) is a special type of x ray. This test may be used if the ultrasound results are unclear or don't give your doctor enough information. For this test, your doctor will inject a substance (called contrast dye) into a vein, most often in your leg. The dye travels to your carotid arteries and highlights them on x-ray pictures.Magnetic Resonance AngiographyMagnetic resonance angiography (MRA) uses a large magnet and radio waves to take pictures of your carotid arteries. Your doctor can see these pictures on a computer screen. For this test, your doctor may give you contrast dye to highlight your carotid arteries on the pictures.Computed Tomography AngiographyComputed tomography (to-MOG-rah-fee) angiography, or CT angiography, takes x-raypictures of the body from many angles. A computer combines the pictures into two- and three-dimensional images. For this test, your doctor may give you contrast dye to highlight your carotid arteries on the pictures.
Which imaging system combines tomography with radionuclide tracers to produce enhanced images of selceted body organs or areas?
The imaging system that combines tomography with radionuclide tracers to produce enhanced images of selected body organs or areas is call PET or positron emission tomography. These types of scans are most commonly used check for brain function, poor blood flow and cancer.
How does pulmonary circulation combines two systems?
The pulmonary circulation works closely with the respiratory system at the alveoli. There, capillaries are in close proximity to the air sacs, and gases are exchanged at this point.
What is meant by the term duoneb?
Duoneb refers to a drug marketed by Boehringer Ingelheim that combines ipratropium bromide with salbutamol sulfate. It is used to treat chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
How does air go from your nose to your toes?
The short answer is that it doesn't. The toes, like the rest of the body, only need the oxygen from the air. Air passes into the lungs when we breathe in and oxygen passes through the walls of the alveoli into the blood capillaries. Here it combines with haemoglobin to form oxyhaemoglobin. The blood travels to the heart in the pulmonary vein and then off around the body in the arteries. Eventually some of it reaches the toes and gives up its oxygen to the cells, where it is used in respiration.
What is the first-aid procedure that combines mouth-to-mouth breathing with chest compressions?
This procedure is known as CPR or Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation and the process consists of 30/2 (30 chest compressions followed by 2 rescue breaths).

What does duplex ultrasonography study?
A duplex ultrasonography studies the circulation of blood through the arteries and veins. It combines the traditional ultrasound, which produce sound waves that bounce off blood vessels to create pictures and the doppler ultrasound, which records sound waves reflecting off moving objects such as the blood.
