Q

WHAT IS HEMORRHAGE?

define
what does external and internal refer to?
why is this NOT the same as hypermia/congestion?

A

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

1. Injury vascular endothelium leads to reflex vasoconstriction (via endothelin)
44
# HEMOSTASIS How does hemostasis work? 1. Injury vascular endothelium leads to reflex vasoconstriction (via endothelin) 2. second stage is....

46
# HEMOSTASIS How does hemostasis work? 1. Injury vascular endothelium leads to reflex vasoconstriction (via endothelin) 2. Primary Hemostasis: Platelets (thrombocytes) - Adhesion, activation and aggregation 3. Secondary Hemostasis: Coagulation cascade - consists of the intrinsic and extrinsic pathways - Leads to thrombin formation - Thrombin converts fibrinogen into fibrin 4. fourth stage is....
4. Fibrinolysis - breaking down the clot *Coagulation factors are plasma protiens produced mainly by the liver
47
# HEMOSTASIS What happens at the end of the cascade?
* Clot is stabilized by fibrin * Contraction of fibrin-platelet clot * Reduces size of the clot to restore normal blood flow
48
# HEMOSTASIS How can coagulation fail?
* Hepatic diseases - Why? Liver is where coagulation factors are produced * Nutritional deficiencies - Vitamin K * Lack of clotting factors ex. Hemophilia * Toxins - Warfarin toxicosis(anti-coagulation meds--what I took) * Platelet defects - thrombocytopenia * Bacterial invasion during the formation of the clot - leads to prolonged healing
49

84
# DISSEMINATED INTRAVASCULAR COAGULATION (DIC) is it a primary disease? systemic reaction to what? what gets depleted?
NOT a primary disease - **always secondary** - something else leads to this reaction!! Systemic reaction resulting in **generalized activation of the coagulation cascade** - Leads to depletion of **coagulation factors and severe uncontrolled bleeding** Ex. Extensive tissue injury, anaphylaxis, sepsis, neoplasia
85
# DISSEMINATED INTRAVASCULAR COAGULATION (DIC) 3 Main Steps:
1**. Increased blood coagulation**: something has caused the body to go into a hypercoagulable state 2. Decreased **platelets, fibrinogen and prothrombin**(fibrinogen all used up by non-necessary clots forming. see increased bleeding with injury and hemoragic syndrome): **consumption coagulopathy --> hemorrhagic syndrome** *diatheses (clinical disorders with increased bleeding tendencies) Diapedesis (when RBC's leave through small holes in intact blood vessels) 3. **Delayed fibrinolysis activation** in response to fibrin clot formation - leads to severe hemorrhagic syndrome
