Question

What are the physiologic effects of supraceliac aortic clamp?

1) Decreased blood flow to the lower extremities
2) Increased blood flow to the lower extremities
3) Decreased blood flow to the upper extremities
4) Increased blood flow to the upper extremities

Answer 1

The physiological effects of supraceliac aortic clamp include decreased blood flow to the lower extremities and decreased blood flow to the upper extremities.

Step-by-step explanation:

The physiological effects of supraceliac aortic clamp include:

1. Decreased blood flow to the lower extremities: When the aorta is clamped above the celiac artery, it reduces blood flow to the lower extremities.
2. Decreased blood flow to the upper extremities: Similarly, the clamping of the aorta restricts blood flow to the upper extremities.

Therefore, options 1 and 3 are correct.
