Block 5 Flashcards
PULMONARY EDEMA
what is it and what is it associated with?
Accumulation of fluid in interstitium and alveoli of the lungs
Associated with Left-Sided Congestive Heart Failure (CHF)
PULMONARY EDEMA
Left-Sided Congestive Heart Failure (CHF)
why?
heart can’t pull blood back from lungs bc left side has failed.
-increased hydrostatic pressure
-transudate
Left-Sided Congestive Heart Failure (CHF)
Gross Appearance:
(yes is is gross btw)
Gross Appearance:
- Lungs are expanded, heavy and wet
- Froth in airways on cut surface
- Congestion of blood (reddish areas)
what is:
Most commonly will result from CHF
Resulting in thickness of the alveolar walls
Possible fibrosis (scar formation)
Presence of siderophages
- alveolar macrophages filled with hemosiderin
- *b/c RBc’s staying there and breaking down.
- Perl’s Stain
CHRONIC PULMONARY EDEMA
CEREBRAL EDEMA
what is it?
what does it look like?
what causes it?
- Edema of the brain
- narrow sulci and flattened gyri
What could cause this? - inflammation
- trauma
- obstruction of venous outflow
CEREBRAL EDEMA
histology?
consequences?
hint what is cerebral coning, what is cerebral herniation?
Histology: Virchow-Robin spaces are expanded
Consequences:
Cerebellar coning - Herniation of the cerebellum
through the foramen magnum
Cerebral herniation - Herniation of caudal
cerebral cortex beneath the tentorium cerebelli
HYPEREMIA V. CONGESTION
increase of arteriole-mediated engorgement of
oxygenated blood
- active process
what is this?
Hyperemia
HYPEREMIA V. CONGESTION
venous engorgement of non-oxygenated blood
- passive process
what is this?
Congestion
HYPEREMIA V. CONGESTION
Physiological?
Pathological?
Physiological: Exercising, blushing (neurovascular), digestion
Pathological: Inflammation
GROSS APPEARANCE OF HYPEREMIA
Name 4
Reddening of tissue
Swelling
Warm to the touch
Tends to be localized
GROSS APPEARANCE OF CONGESTION
name 4
Darker in color - red/blue/black
(cyanotic)
Tissue is usually cooler in temperature
Well ooze blood when the surface is cut
Often wet
Acute congestion
vs
chronic congestion
what are the differences?
Acute: Engorged capillaries, +/- edema
Chronic:
hypoxia (decreased oxygen b/c deox blood staying in vessels. No room for oxygenated blood to come in), cellular atrophy, cellular degeneration/necrosis
Pulmonary ? no idea what crossing out the word congestion is supposed to mean?
so what is this picture?
what caused it?
what is the pathomecanism?
what do you expect to see under histology?
What could cause this? Left Sided CHF
What is the pathomechanism? Increased Hydrostatic Pressure
What do you expect to see under histology? Siderophages

What could cause this?
What is the pathomechanism?
What is another name for this appearance?
What could cause this?
Right Sided CHF
What is the pathomechanism?
Increased Pressure, Hypoxia and Necrosis
What is another name for this appearance?
Nutmeg liver
WHAT IS HEMORRHAGE?
define
what does external and internal refer to?
why is this NOT the same as hypermia/congestion?
Blood escapes from the vasculature
Can be external or internal - in other words,
within the tissue or body cavities
Remember this is NOT the same as
hyperemia/congestion - these are within the
vasculature
CLASSIFICATION
due to a small defect in
the vessel wall or RBCs passing through vessel wall due to
increased capillary permeability (ex. Inflammation)
Other examples: congestion, hypoxia,
what is this called?
Hemorrhage by Diapedesis:
CLASSIFICATION
due to a substantial tear in the
vasculature
Ex. trauma, blood vessel necrosis, neoplasia invasion into
the vessel
what is this called?
hemorrhage by Rhexis
HEMORRHAGE & CLASSIFICATION
which is internal which is external?
Hemothorax
left=external
right=internal
PETECHIAE
what are they?
describe
Small pin-point hemorrhages
~1-2 mm in size
Commonly seen on the skin, mucosal and serosal surfaces
left=smallintestine of cow
right=abomasum of cow
PURPURA
what are they
describe
Kidneys-dog
Larger in size than petechiae
~3mm-1cm in size
Commonly seen on the skin, mucosal and serosal surfaces
ECCHYMOSES
what is this?
describe
Larger in size than purpura
** ~1-2cm in size**
Seen in bruises or small hematomas
left=sucutaneous tissue
right=large intestine of cow
AGONAL HEMORRHAGES in Heart
what causes this appearance?
Terminal hypoxia
left=epicardium
2 right=endocardium
SUFFUSIVE & PAINTBRUSH HEMORRHAGE
what is this?
describe
left=suffusive
-continuous and larger than ecchymoses
right=paint-brush
looks like red paint was hastily applied by a paint brush
HEMATOMA
what is this?
describe
left=splenic hematome
right=ovarian hematoma
Accumulation or pockets of blood
Can be caused by trauma (ex. Spleen)
Surrounded by a capsule
HEMORRHAGIC DIATHESIS
what is this?
describe
Increased tendency to hemorrhage from insignificant injuries
-i.e. not trauma
Platelet disorders and coagulation disorders
SUBDURAL & EPIDURAL HEMORRHAGE
what is bleeding between the dura matter and skull
vs.
bleeding between the arachnoid matter and the dura matter
AH HA!
the first is epidural
the second is subdural
what do we call this?
what could cause this?
Hemoperitoneum
Incomplete detachment of trophoblasts
in uterus postpartum
what do we call this?
what can this lead to?
Hemopericardium
Cardiac tamponade 2 fatal complication from
pressure on the heart
What do we call this?
What could cause this?
Hemothorax
Spirocerca lupi - causes vasculitis and loss of
integrity of the vascular wall ĺ aortic rupture
identify and describe
Hyphema

Can be mixed with
mucus
identify and describe-poop terms
Hema(blood)tochezia(pooping)

stool

what is Hematemesis
Hema(blood)temesis(vomiting)
Vomiting blood
identify and describe poop terms
Melena (black)
Tarry blood in the
stool
Very dark red
RESOLUTION OF HEMORRHAGE
What is resolution dependent on?
The amount of hemorrhage present
ex. Smaller hemorrhages have the ability to be reabsorbed
while larger hemorrhages will require phagocytosis and
degradation of RBCs
Organizing hematomas may form and contain a mass of
RBCs and fibrin encapsulated in connective tissue
- will eventually become phagocytized by macrophages
RESOLUTION OF HEMORRHAGE
what is this?
Aural Hematoma
RESOLUTION OF HEMORRHAGE
Bruising Colors:
purple=
green=
yellow/orange=
Bruising Colors: Hemoglobin (purple) is converted to bilirubin(green)
and eventually hemosiderin(yellow/orange)
Hemorrhage: Clinical significance
generally dependent upon…..?
explain hemorrhagic shock
(volume and rate)
Profuse blood loss –> acute anemia –>
hypovolemic shock –> death
- Anemia due to repeated small
hemorrhages. E.g.: parasites
*chronic anemia
Hemorrhage: Clinical significance
Determined by….?
explain compressive effects
when can it be fatal?
the location and severity
e.g.: - Hemorrhage in the brain or heart
(pericardium) can be fatal.
- Mechanical compression of organs
due to a hematoma
HEMOSTASIS
what is it?
hint: blood
Main physiological response to vascular damage
- helps prevent blood loss by sealing injured vessels
- keeps the blood fluid inside the vasculature (i.e. no clots!)
HEMOSTASIS
How does hemostasis work?
first step is….
- Injury vascular endothelium leads to reflex vasoconstriction (via endothelin)
HEMOSTASIS
How does hemostasis work?
- Injury vascular endothelium leads to reflex vasoconstriction (via endothelin)
- second stage is….
- Primary Hemostasis: Platelets (thrombocytes) - Adhesion, activation and
aggregation
