Ati Central Venous Access Devices

Front 1

Basilic vein

Back 1

Large superficial vein that arises from the ulnar side of the hand, passes up the forearm, and joins with the break your veins to form the axillary

Front 2

Brachial veins

Back 2

Veins following the course of the brachial artery in joining with the basilic vein to form the axillary vein

Front 3

Catheter pinch off

Back 3

Rare complication of tunneled central venous catheters that occurs when the catheter is compressed between the first rib and the clavicle, causing an intermittent mechanical occlusion

Front 4

Central vascular access device

Back 4

Umbrella term that includes a variety of catheters, cannulas, and infusion ports that allow intermittent or continuous Central access to a blood vessel. Device usually inserted into the subclavian or jugular vein with the distal tip resting in the superior venacava just about the right atrium and used for long-term intravenous therapy or parenteral nutrition

Front 5

Cephalic

Back 5

Superficial vein that arises from the radio side of the hand and winds anteriorly to pass along their anterior border of the brachioradialis muscle, ascends along the lateral border of the biceps muscle and the pectoral border of the deltoid muscle and finally opens into the axillary

Front 6

Chlorhexidine gluconate

Back 6

Antibacterial compound with substantial residue activity that is used as a liquid antiseptic and disinfectant period trade name chloraprep

Front 7

Colloid solution

Back 7

Plasma expander. Protein containing fluid infused intravenously to help restore circulating blood volume

Front 8

Extravasation

Back 8

CHR introduction of fluid, such as intravenous fluid, and to the tissues surrounding a blood vessel; sometimes used interchangeably with infiltration but more accurately describes catheter dislodgement with medication infusing into the tissues and causing actual or potential tissue damage

Front 9

Fibrinolytic agent

Back 9

Agent that dissolves fibrin, A protein that is essential for blood clotting, for the purpose of eliminating thrombi - blood clots. Also called thrombolytic drugs

Front 10

Huber needle

Back 10

Catheter whose end is attached to a small chamber placed and a subcutaneous pocket(instead of exiting from the skin), either the anterior chest wall or on the forearm

Front 11

Implanted vascular access device

Back 11

Any of a number of types of access devices that are surgically fixed underneath the skin

Front 12

isopropyl alcohol

Back 12

Transparent, volatile, colorless liquid used as a solvent and disinfectant and applied topically as an antiseptic

Front 13

Jugular vein

Back 13

Large vein that returns blood to the heart from the neck and head with two on each side of the neck and external and an internal jugular vein

Front 14

Nonthrombotic occlusion

Back 14

Obstruction of a blood vessel by means other than a blood clot

Front 15

Occlusion

Back 15

Obstruction that impedes flow, such as a blood clot in a vein

Front 16

Pneumothorax

Back 16

Accumulation of air or gas in the pleural space

Front 17

Pounds per square inch

Back 17

PSI period pressure a gas or liquid exerts on the wall of its container, measured in units of one pound of force or pressure applied to one square inch

Front 18

Positive pressure injection cap

Back 18

Cap attached to the end of a catheter that exerts positive pressure into the line after flushing and removing the syringe, that's preventing backflow of blood into the catheter and reducing the risk of occlusion

Front 19

Providone - iodine

Back 19

Topical anti-infective agent produced by reacting iodine with the polymer povidone to release iodine. Trade name Betadine

Front 20

Precipitate

Back 20

Deposit separated from a suspension or a solution and either falling to the bottom or floating on top

Front 21

SASH saline, administer, saline, heparin

Back 21

Technique for administering a medication intravenously, involving first flushing with normal saline solution, injecting the medication, flushing with normal saline, then flushing with Heparin solution

Front 22

Sepsis

Back 22

Presidents and blood or other tissues of pathogens or their toxins

Front 23

Subclavian vein

Back 23

Pain that continues the axillary vein as the main venous stem of the Upper Limb, follows the subclavian artery, and joins with internal jugular vein to form the brachial cephalic vein

Front 24

Thrombotic occlusion

Back 24

Deposits of fibrin and blood components, or clots, within and around the central line that interfere with flow

Front 25

Trendelenburg position

Back 25

Placement of patient with the entire bed frame tilted with the head of the bed lowered

Front 26

Turbulent Flushing

Back 26

Intermittent push - stop - push technique to quickly injecting a small amount of flush solution, pausing, then injecting again repeating until all the flush solution has been injected

Front 27

Valsalva maneuver

Back 27

Forceful exhalation against a closed glottis, which increases intrathoracic pressure and less interferes with the return of venous blood to the heart. Performed with central line insertion to create a positive phase and central venous pressure, that's reducing the risk of air being drawn into the central circulation in creating an air embolus

Front 28

Vesicant

Back 28

Chemical that produces blisters

Front 29

Viscous

Back 29

Thick, sticky, or gummy. Having a high degree of viscosity - resistance to flow
