2nd Exam: Fluid and Hemodynamic Derangements Flashcards
This kills more than the top 3 cancers combined:
HD
Greatest to least prevalance: lung, breast, colorectal cancers, stroke, HD:
HD, stroke, lung, colorectal, breast
2 ways to get too much blood in vascular bed:
- active hyperemia: excessive inflow (dilation of precapillary arterioles, autonomic stimulation, blushing, inflammatory process, 2: passive hyperemia/ congestion: something blocking flow out of bed, obstruction of vein, most common is congestive heart failure
What happens to red blood cells that enter the air spaces?
degenerate, macros will come and ingest them
most common blockage leading to hydrostatic pressure and fluid build up in lungs:
pulmonary vein to aorta blockage
Pulmonary edema, fluid that contains:
protein
What happens to the hemoglobin of RBCs that enter the alveolar space after RBC is degraded?
converted to hemosiderin, ingested by macs, these “heart failure cells” impart rusty color to lungs and spit
Inc p in sys caps leads to:
R sided CHF
Inc p in pulm caps leads to:
L sided CHF
Dec flow in pulm caps leads to:
hypoxemia
Dec flow in sys caps leads to
hypoperfusion
Dependent edema, chronic passive congestion: which type of heart failure?
R-sided CHF
Weakness, drowsiness, cyanosis, clubbing (deformity of fingers and toes), polycythemia (inc hemoglobin): hypoxemia or hypoperfusion?
hypoxemia
Dyspnea, orthopenia, hemoptysis: L or R-CHF?
L-sided CHF
Dyspnea:
difficult, labored breathing
orthopenia:
shortness of breath while laying down
hemoptysis:
coughing up blood
Syncope/coma, kidney failure, tissue necrosis: hypoxemia or hypoperfusion?
Hypoperfusion (shock)
Structures involved in R-sided CHF:
vena cava, R atrium/ vent, tricuspid valve, pulm valve, pulm a., intrinsic lung disease, L-sided CHF
causes of hypoxemia (low o2 concentration in blood)
heart malformations w R to L shunt, pulm arterial hypertension, Lung d. w inc resistance to blood flow
Structures involved in L-sided CHF:
pulm v., L atrium/ ven, mitral valve, aortic valve, systemic hypertension
Causes of hypoperfusion:
low P (vasod) or V (blood loss) , MI, fibrilation, sepsis
R-sided CHF leads to __ and L leads to __:
hypoxemia, hypoperfusion
Clinical presentation of R-sided CHF:
swollen ankles and legs
How can pregnancy lead to R-sided CHF?
compression of vena cava
mark of R sided CHF:
depressed area due to pressure, pitting edema, interference of blood flow
_-sided CHF will impede drainage of liver sinusoids to vena cava.
R, sinusoids will dilate, grossly dilated resembles cut nutmeg
First liver sinusoids to dilate with R-sided CHF:
those around centrilobular veins of liver
A clear image of this is not seen in liver slides with R-sided CHF:
portal triad
Nutmeg liver is indicative of:
R-sided CHF
Valve more likely to suffer from age related problems:
aortic, 2 cusps, L sided CHF
