About This Quiz


These are just a few questions I asked myself when studying to make sure I know some of the highlighted points in this chapter. I figured, I might as well make it official and legit so I can go back to this when studying for the comprehenive exam also. . . So I hope this helps you guys as well!

TEE - Image Anatomy & Procedure - Quiz

Quiz Preview

  • 2. 

    The Coronary Sinus is located next to which MV leaflet? 

    Explanation
    The Coronary Sinus is located next to the posterior mitral valve (MV) leaflet. This means that it is positioned towards the back of the MV leaflet.

    Rate this question:

  • 3. 

    A patient must be ________ for ______ hours prior to the TEE exam, to reduce vomiting. (choose 2) 

    • NPO - fasting

    • DOE

    • 4

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. NPO - fasting
    A. 4
    Explanation
    To reduce the risk of vomiting during a TEE (Transesophageal Echocardiogram) exam, the patient must refrain from eating or drinking for a certain number of hours before the procedure. This is known as NPO (Nil Per Os) or fasting. Additionally, the patient must fast for a period of 4 hours prior to the exam. By abstaining from food and drink, the stomach is empty, reducing the likelihood of regurgitation or aspiration during the procedure.

  • 4. 

    It a patient is ROP (Routine OUt Patient), they should be able to drive home themselves without any difficulties...After all, if they had Versed, they shouldn't have issues since they can't remember anything anyway. 

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    ROP patients MUST have a ride home. This is not a laughing matter. :)

    Rate this question:

  • 5. 

    The left coronary artery feeds which Aortic Valve cusp? 

    Correct Answer
    Left
    left
    Explanation
    The left coronary artery feeds the left cusp of the aortic valve.

    Rate this question:

  • 6. 

    Which of these is NOT an Absolute Contraindication for performing a TEE?

    • Inability to swallow

    • Radiation therapy

    • Esophageal Varices, tumors, stenosis

    • Gastrointestinal bleeding

    Correct Answer
    A. Radiation therapy
    Explanation
    Radiation therapy is not an absolute contraindication for performing a transesophageal echocardiogram (TEE). TEE is a procedure that involves inserting a probe into the esophagus to obtain detailed images of the heart. While conditions such as inability to swallow, esophageal varices, tumors, and stenosis, and gastrointestinal bleeding may hinder the safe performance of TEE, radiation therapy does not directly interfere with the procedure. However, it is important to consider the potential risks and benefits of TEE in patients who have undergone radiation therapy, as there may be increased sensitivity or damage to the esophagus due to the treatment.

    Rate this question:

  • 7. 

    What are the 3 areas of common thrombus/emboli detection? 

    • Apex

    • Appendages

    • Posterior leaflets

    • Intra-atrial septum

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. Apex
    A. Appendages
    A. Intra-atrial septum
    Explanation
    The three areas of common thrombus/emboli detection are the apex, appendages, and intra-atrial septum. Thrombus or emboli can often be found in these areas during medical examinations or imaging tests.

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

    The _________________ of the AV is always on the side of the Intra-atrial septum.

    • Left coronary cusp

    • Non coronary cusp

    • AV Groove

    • Coaptation

    Correct Answer
    A. Non coronary cusp
    Explanation
    The non coronary cusp of the AV (aortic valve) is always on the side of the Intra-atrial septum.

    Rate this question:

  • 9. 

    The _________ of the MV is always on the side of the non- coronary cusp of the AV. 

    • Posterior leaflet

    • Excursion

    • Scallop

    • Anterior leaflet

    Correct Answer
    A. Anterior leaflet
    Explanation
    The correct answer is anterior leaflet. The statement implies that the anterior leaflet of the mitral valve is always located on the side of the non-coronary cusp of the aortic valve. This information helps in understanding the anatomical positioning and relationship between these two valves in the heart.

    Rate this question:

  • 10. 

    The probe must not be in the cleaning solution for longer than 20 minutes because it is an acid. 

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The probe must not be in the cleaning solution for longer than 20 minutes because it is an acid. This suggests that the cleaning solution is acidic in nature and prolonged exposure to the probe can cause damage or corrosion. Therefore, it is important to limit the time the probe spends in the cleaning solution to prevent any potential harm.

    Rate this question:

  • 11. 

    The Eustacian Valve is seen in the ME Bicaval view with the _____________ being on the left side of it. 

    • IVC

    • SVC

    • Coronary sinus

    Correct Answer
    A. IVC
    Explanation
    The Eustachian valve is seen in the ME Bicaval view with the IVC being on the left side of it. This means that when the ME Bicaval view is obtained, the inferior vena cava (IVC) is visualized to the left of the Eustachian valve. The Eustachian valve is a fold of tissue within the right atrium of the heart, and its position in relation to the IVC can be identified using this specific view.

    Rate this question:

  • 12. 

    In the ME AV SAX view, what is the order of AV cusps? 

    • Right, left, non

    • Left, non, right

    • Non, left, right

    • Non, right, left

    Correct Answer
    A. Non, left, right
    Explanation
    The correct order of AV cusps in the ME AV SAX view is non, left, right.

    Rate this question:

  • 13. 

    Which views are LA appendages  seen in? (check 2) 

    • ME 2 Chamber

    • TG LAX

    • TG 2 Chamber

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. ME 2 Chamber
    A. TG 2 Chamber
    Explanation
    The LA appendages are seen in the ME 2 Chamber and TG 2 Chamber views.

    Rate this question:

  • 14. 

    Which view is the RA appendage seen in? 

    Correct Answer(s)
    ME Bicaval
    Explanation
    The RA appendage is seen in the ME Bicaval view. This view is obtained by placing the ultrasound probe at the subxiphoid position and angling it towards the patient's right shoulder. In this view, both the superior and inferior vena cava can be visualized, along with the right atrium and the RA appendage.

    Rate this question:

  • 15. 

    The LAA is on the same side of the __________MV leaflet and ___________ wall of myocardium. 

    • Anterior; anterior

    • Anterior; lateral

    • Posterior; anterior

    • Posterior; inferior

    Correct Answer
    A. Anterior; anterior
    Explanation
    The LAA (Left Atrial Appendage) is located on the same side as the anterior MV (Mitral Valve) leaflet and the anterior wall of the myocardium.

    Rate this question:

  • 16. 

    The Coronary Sinus shows up on which myocardial walls in the ME 2 Chamber & ME 4 Chamber? (choose 2)

    • Lateral

    • Inferior

    • Anterior

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. Lateral
    A. Inferior
    Explanation
    The Coronary Sinus shows up on the lateral and inferior myocardial walls in both the ME 2 Chamber and ME 4 Chamber views.

    Rate this question:

  • 17. 

    The TG Mid SAX show the ___________muscle to be on the top. 

    Correct Answer(s)
    posterior medial papillary
    Explanation
    The TG Mid SAX view is a cardiac imaging technique that allows visualization of the posterior medial papillary muscle. This muscle is located at the top portion of the heart, which is why it is shown to be on the top in the TG Mid SAX view.
