9/24: Hemodynamics Flashcards
- This is blood clotting that prevents excess bleeding after blood vessel damage
a. Hemostasis
- This is inappropriate clotting
a. Thrombosis
- This is migration of clots
Embolism
- Is hyperemia an active or passive process?
a. Active
- Is congestion an active or passive process?
a. Passive
- This is an active process, arteriolar dilation, and increased blood flow
a. Hyperemia
- Red color to blood =
a. Oxygenated hemoglobin
- This is a passive process, impaired outflow of venous blood from a tissue
a. Congestion
- blue/red color (cyanosis) =
a. Deoxygenated hemoglobin
- This is the accumulation of intestinal fluid in the tissues
a. Edema
- This is extravascular fluid that collects in body cavities
a. Effusions
- Pleura cavity effusion is
a. Hydrothorax
- Pericardial cavity effusion is
a. Hydropericardium
- Peritoneal cavity effusion is
a. Hydroperitoneum or ascites
- This is severe generalized edema due to fluid retention in tissues and cavities
Anasarca
- What are the causes of edema?
a. Increased hydrostatic pressure
b. Reduced plasma osmotic pressure
c. Lymphatic obstruction
d. Sodium retention
e. Inflammation
- What 2 pressures dictate fluid movement between vascular and interstitial spaces?
a. Vascular hydrostatic pressure
b. Colloid osmotic pressure
- Arterial outflow is normally balanced by what?
a. Inflow at the venous end
- Lymphatic drainage goes through which compartment?
a. interstitial
- Increased hydrostatic pressure is usually caused by disorders that
a. Impaired venous return
- What are examples of increased hydrostatic pressure?
a. Deep venous thrombosis
b. Congestive heart failure
- Reduced plasma osmotic pressure may result from what?
a. Los in circulation or reduced synthesis
- What are examples of reduced plasma osmotic pressure?
a. Nephrotic syndrome
b. Liver disease
- This compromises resorption of fluid from interstitial spaces leading to edema
a. Lymphatic obstruction
- What can cause lymphatic obstruction?
a. Inflammation
b. Neoplastic condition (like cancer)
c. Congenital lymphedema
- What are the stages of lymphedema?
a. Stage 1 - asymptomatic
b. Stage 2 - swelling
c. Stage 3 - permanent swelling
d. Stage 4 - lymphostatic elephantiasis
- This is extravasation of blood from vessels
a. Hemorrhage
- What can cause hemorrhage?
a. Defective blood clot, trauma, etc…
- This is a large collection of hemorrhage in a tissue
a. Hematoma
- List the sizes of hemorrhage from smallest to largest
a. Petechiae
b. Purpura
c. Ecchymoses
d. hematoma
- Petechiae is often a consequence of what?
a. Thrombocytopenia
b. Vitamin C deficiency
- What cells are the primary regulator of hemostasis?
a. Endothelial cells
- What are the steps of clot formation?
a. Vasoconstriction
b. Platelet plug formation
c. Fibrin deposition
d. Clot stabilization and resorption
