20 questions
Question 1: The maximal effect of vessel enlargement during the flap delay procedure occurs within the first 24 hours after operation.
A. Ano
B. Ne
Explanation: The maximal effect of vessel enlargement occurs between 48 and 72 hours after the operation, not within the first 24 hours. Immediately after elevation, vasoconstriction occurs, followed by gradual dilation during the first 48 hours, then dramatic dilation from 48 to 72 hours.
Question 2: Which of the following statements about using handheld Doppler probes for identifying cutaneous perforators in flap design is true?
A. Handheld Dopplers are expensive and difficult to use.
B. Dopplers are not operator-dependent, making results consistent across all users.
C. A simple Doppler is a portable, inexpensive, and handy tool for accurately identifying cutaneous vessels.
D. Dopplers always determine the exact course of vessels accurately and never pick up background vessels.
Explanation: The study materials state that handheld pencil Doppler probes are 'easy to use, inexpensive, portable,' and that 'a simple Doppler is a handy tool to identify cutaneous vessels accurately.' It also notes that Dopplers 'tend to be operator-dependent,' 'may pick up background vessels,' and 'may not determine the course of vessels accurately.'
Question 3: Veins in the deep tissues typically leave muscles far from their attachments to bone or fascia.
A. Ano
B. Ne
Explanation: The study materials state that "In the deep tissues, veins leave muscles usually near their attachments to bone or fascia, most commonly on their deep surfaces."
Question 4: According to the study materials, under what condition is the venous drainage of muscles frequently collected into a large venous arch?
A. When veins leave muscles near their attachments to bone or fascia
B. When a group of muscles has a common origin
C. When the cutaneous nerve crosses a fixed skin site
D. When the skin is relatively fixed to the deep fascia over a wide area
Explanation: The study materials state, 'If a group of muscles has a common origin...the venous drainage of each is frequently collected into a large venous arch that courses in the muscle mass close to the bone.'
Question 5: The keystones of vascular arcades formed by choke arteries and arterioles typically have an increased caliber compared to true anastomoses.
A. Ano
B. Ne
Explanation: The study materials state that choke arteries and arterioles are "reduced-caliber," while true anastomoses are formed "without change in caliber." This indicates that choke vessels have a smaller, not increased, caliber compared to true anastomoses.
