In duplex ultrasound testing for venous reflux, all of the following techniques are beneficial in diagnosis EXCEPT

observance that flow velocities are increased

observance of color change from blue to red

flow crosses baseline with valsalva maneuver

squeezing the limb proximally causes flow reversal on the spectral waveform

When venous reflux lasts more than one second following the release of compression distally, this strongly suggest

an indeterminate finding for valvular competence

Whic of the follwing findings using PPG testing for venous insufficiency indicates that the venous valves are competent

the veins refill slowly (exceeding 20 seconds) after exercise

the veins refill quickly (less than 20 seconds) after exercise

the veins continue to empty after exercise

the veins do not empty after exercise

DVT in the veins of the arms is much less common than in the veins of the leg. All of the following are likely causes of upper extremity DVT EXCEPT

fibrosis due to radiation theraphy

venous thoracic outlet compression

In the determination if a vein is suitable for graft material, the technologist should determine if

all of the above except the vein is patent
