BLOOD VESSEL PATHOLOGY Flashcards
WHAT ARE THE BODIES 4 PREVENTION STRATEGIES FOR INAPPROPRIATE COAGULATION
PLATELET REPULSION
THROMBIN DILUTION
NATURAL ANTICOAGULANTS
SMOOTH UNINTERUPTED BLOOD FLOW
WHAT IS A THROMBUS
A BLOOD CLOT
A THROMBUS CAN OCCUR IN VEINS BUT NOT ARTERIES T OR F?
false
T OR F? A THROMBUS CAN OCCUR IN VEINS BUT NOT ARTERIES
FALSE
can occur in both
WHAT IS IT CALLED IF A CLOT BREAKS LOOSE AND STRATS TO TREVEL THROUGH THE BLOOD STREAM
THROMBOEMBOLUS
WHAT ARE THE THREE RISK FACTORS FOR THROMBOSIS
VIRCHOWS TRIAD
STASIS OF BLOOD
VESSEL WALL DAMAGE
HYPERCOAGULABILITY
WHAT ARE THE RISK FACTORS FOR ARTERIAL THROMBOSIS
VIRCHOWS TRIAD
STASIS OF BLOOD
HYPERCOAGULABILITY
VESSEL WALL DAMAGE
WHAT IS ARTERIOSCLEROSIS
THICKENING AND LOSS OF ELASTICITY OF SRTERIAL WALLS
WHAT IS THE MOST COMMON CAUSE OF ARTERIOSCLEROSIS
ATHEROSCLEROSIS
WHAT IS ATHEROSCLEROSIS
DEPOSITS OF FAT AND FIBRIN WITHIN THE ARTERIAL WALLS THAT HARDENS OVER TIME
ATHEROSCLEROTIC PLAQUE _____ INVOLVE THE ENTIRE CIRCUMFERENCE OF THE VESSEL
DOESNT
WHAT ARE THE RISK FACTORS OF ATHEROSCLEROSIS
MODIFIABLE = ALCOHOL, SMOKING, DIET
UNMODIFIABLE = SEX, GENETICS
WHAT IS THE CAUSE OF PERIPHERAL ARTERY DISEASE
ATHEROSCLEROSIS = CAUSES INADEQUATE SUPPLY TO TISSUES
WHAT ARE THE MENIFESTATIONS OF ACUTE ARTERIAL OBSTRUCTION
PAINFUL, PAILE, PERISHINGLY COLD, PULSELESS, PARAESTHETIC, PARALYSED
WHAT ARE THE MANIFESTATIONS OF CHRONIC ARTERIAL OBSTRUCTIONS
ADEQUATE BLOOD SUPPLY AT REST
WHAT ARE VARICOSE VEINS
A VEIN IN WHICH BLOOD HAS POOLED, PRODUCING DISTENDED, TORTUROUS, AND PALPABLE VESSELS
VARICOSE VEINS OCCUR IN ______ VEINS
SUPERFICIAL
WHAT IS THE PATHOGENESIS OF VARICOSE VEINS
FAULTY VALVES IN THE VEINS
WHAT ARE THE RISK FACTORS FOR VARICOSE VEINS
FEMALE
STANDING FOR LONG PERIODS
OBESITY
OLD AGE
PREGNANCY
GENETIC PREDISPOSITION
PREVIOUS LEG INJURY
SYMPTOMS OF VARICOSE VEINS
VISIBLY DARK AND BULGING
APPEAR TWISTED
ACHY HEAVY LEGS
CRAMPING. THROBBING, BURNING PAIN
SWELLONG
WHAT IS THROMBOPHLEBITIS
THROMBUS FORMATION IN A VEIN (CLOT IN A VEIN) WITH THE OBVIOUS PRESENCE OF INFLAMMATION
THROMBOPHLEBITIS CAN OCCUR IN ______ AND _____ VEINS
SUPERFICIAL, DEEP
WHAT ARE THE COMMON SITES FOR THROMBOPHLEBITIS
LOWER LIMB
UPPER LIMB
WHAT ARE THE RISK FACTORS FOR THROMBOPHLEBITIS
VARICOSE VEINS
PREGNANCY
IV INJECTIONS
VIRCHOWS TRIAD
WHAT ARE THE PRESENTAIONS OF THROMBOPHLEBITIS
TENDER, RED CORD LIKE, FIRM (SUPERFICIAL) VEINS
LOCALISED HEAT AND SWELING
WHAT IS DEEP VEIN THROMBOSIS
THROMBOSIS FORMATION IN A DEEP VEIN, IN THE ABSENCE OF OBVIOUS INFLAMMATION
WHAT ARE THE CLINICAL FEATURES OF DVT
CALF ACHE, TIGHTNESS, TENDERNESS, SWELLING, HEAT
CHANGE IN COLOUR
WHAT CAN DVT BE EASILY MISDIAGNOSED WITH
CALF MUSCLE STRAIN
WHAT ARE THE POSSIBEL OUTCOMES OF DVT
THE THROMBOSIS UNDERGOES PROPAGATION, AND THEN DISSOLUTION
OR IT MAY DISLODGE AND TRAVEL THROUGH THE BLOOD STREAM AS A THROMBOEMBOLUS
